Just like other social media platforms, X has changed its settings to allow its AI platform ‘‘Grok‘ to use your posts and interactions for training and improvement. This means Grok can collect your data unless you opt out of it from your account. Your data including posts, likes, and replies will be used to teach Grok, X’s AI, to become authentic, and improved. This data may also be shared with X’s service provider, xAI without the knowledge of the users.

It was said that the X needs more data to improve Grok’s performance. However, this practice has raised concerns about user privacy and permission on the platform. An X user wrote: Friendly reminder to not forget to turn off this setting in “privacy and safety” and make sure your posts won’t be used for AI training.”
