If you use X (formerly Twitter), their Grok AI may already be trained on your content.
This is thanks to a recently enabled setting that automatically allows users to allow their data to be used to train AI chatbots.
The warning wording is as follows:
“We may use your X posts and user interactions, inputs and results on Grok for training and fine-tuning purposes to continually improve your experience. This also means that your interactions, inputs and results may be shared with our service provider xAI for these purposes.”
It’s probably a little deeper than most people are likely to venture into, which has caused some upset online.
How to opt out of Grok training for X
If you want to prevent your data from being used to train Grok, you can find the setting in the web version of X, but unfortunately for many users of the platform, it’s not yet found in the app.
To prevent your posts from being used to provide Grok information:

Outside of Grok, Apple recently pledged to help enforce voluntary AI safety guidelines, along with OpenAI, Meta, Amazon and others.
Apple’s own suite of AI features, called Apple Intelligence, is expected to arrive on devices later this year.
