If you make public posts on X, there’s a good chance your content is being fed straight into Grok, the AI chatbot backed by Elon Musk, the same chatbot that has been on the topic for the past few days.
Back in 2024, X quietly updated its policies, allowing the user data to be used for AI training by xAI. This simply means that your tweets, profile info, replies, and even Spaces activities can be used to train Grok AI.
If this thing makes you uncomfortable (it should), here’s what you can do to prevent X from using your data to train Grok AI.
What Data Does Grok Collect?
According to this webpage, these data are shared with xAI.
- Your public posts and reposts.
- Likes, Replies, and engagements.
- Conversations in Spaces
- Your profile details.
- Other interactions you’ve had with Grok.
How to Stop Sharing Data and Opt Out of AI Training?
The good thing is that X offers you several ways to control how much data you want to share. Here’s how you can stop sharing data for Grok training.
1. Launch the x.com website and sign in with your account.
2. Click the More button and select Settings and Privacy.
3. Switch to Privacy and safety.
4. Scroll down to the Data sharing and personalization. Click Grok & Third-party Collaborators.
5. Uncheck the three options shown.
Make your Profile Private
You can make your account private to protect your tweets from Grok. Here’s how to make your profile private.
- Launch Settings and Privacy
- Switch to Privacy and safety.
- Select Audience, media and tagging
- Enable Protect your posts and Protect your videos.
So, you don’t have to quit X to avoid training Grok, just make these changes, and you’re good to go. Let us know if you need more help on this topic.
