X has quietly begun training its Grok AI chat platform using members' public posts without first alerting anyone that it is doing it by default.
To avoid being left out of the game, X quietly began to train its Grok AI chat platform by using users' posts without asking for permission or making an announcement about the change.
The site's About Grok page has also been updated to say that X may use your posts to train Grok, which was not found in previous versions of the page.
"To continuously improve your experience, we may utilize your X posts as well as your user interactions, inputs, and results with Grok for training and fine-tuning purposes," says the About Grok page now.
You have two options if you do not wish to allow X to use your posts to train Grok.
From there, click on Settings and privacy, select Grok under Data sharing and personalization, and then uncheck the "Allow your posts as well as your interactions, inputs, and results with Grok to be used for training and fine-tuning" setting, as shown below.
