Sharing Is Caring
At some point, X-formerly-Twitter auto-opted its users into sharing their data with Grok, owner Elon Musk’s unfunny «anti-woke» chatbot — without bothering to tell users about the change.

Twitter has opted you into training Elon’s weirdo A.I.

As Shachtman notes, opting out of having your data included in Grok’s training pool is as simple as de-selecting the allowance in your settings.
