How to stop Musk's Grok AI from training on anything you've ever said or done on X
Twitter/X has automatically opted you in to training Elon Musk's Grok AI on everything you've ever posted on the service. Here's where they have stashed the hidden setting, and how to turn it off.

Here’s how to stop X from using your posts to train its AI
You can delete your conversations with Grok, too.

I am all for privacy but when you post publicly it is ummm... public?
Huge breach of what? Of the silly things you write on X? You're not important.
I don't have X but Meta stopped its AI roll out in the EU for this very reason.
Hard? LMAO!!!
Pretty much any social network out there would be far worse.
Name some that are better.
Seems like Musk is really desperate to recoup some of the money he so stupidly spent.
Musk is the sleaziest baboon on the planet. I can’t stand anything he has his hands in.
LOL Grok is gonna be a super racist flat-earther that thinks 1x1 =2 because of the “special math” that people on Twitter have embraced.
I have both domains blocked at the router level. 😛
I can and am completely avoiding openAI products too, same as Twitter.
There is no "Grok" under "Privacy and safety".
Edit: It magically appeared (underneath "Location information") when I went back to the page. It seems it might take a reload or two before it appears.

Elon hate seems to be part of the narrative nowadays. Let’s be honest, we knew Elon was an a** long before even the Model Y first came out. Back then, the media said he was cool so everyone was cool with him. As soon as the media said he’s not cool, all of a sudden everyone hates on him.
This is something I’ve really started to notice with American culture lately. Hate who you want to hate but let it be your choice not because it’s the “in” thing to do now… Same goes the other way around. People will rally behind whoever they are told to regardless of what they thought of that person just a few months ago…
If only that was so easy… Grok is being trained on anything you may have posted on Twitter, doing that is a bit like locking the stable after the horse has already been through the glue factory. 🤦♂️
Heck, once I saw what Twitter was becoming under Musk I actually went and painstakingly deleted ALL of my tweets, retweets and replies (yes, all of them), and removed my personal data and changed my account from my main mail address to a secondary one. And, still, there may be backups of my posts somewhere, so I’ll still do this for good measure. The fact that I kept my account around, just in case, may actually pay off, as I’m at least expressing my disapproval, which may become relevant if there’s a class action lawsuit against this clown.
Speak for yourself; I really didn’t know Elon was a deranged cnut until his very public meltdown over that guy involved in rescuing those soccer-playing kids from the cave they got trapped in, in 2018. And it didn’t immediately become apparent to me just how deranged it was; that was but a red flag, because the rest was a gradual process of discovery, of layers upon layers of lore and drama.
Don't. Hang. In. The. Nazi. Bar.
Here kids is a perfect example of both sidesism.
Utter horse crap, but what are you gonna do?
there might be a correlation between media and public perception, but the cause is still Elon
honestly when i type words to millions of other people on the internet i just assume that they aren’t private
This was the event that started souring me on Musk as well. Until this point I was stoked he was bringing EVs to the masses and doing amazing things with SpaceX.
It’s frustrating that his company is the avant-garde of the US space industry with seemingly no serious competition. I can’t imagine NASA wanting to use Boeing’s module again considering they’re still testing whether or not the astronauts will make it back to Earth alive from the ISS due to thruster issues.
Just like the owner of X, then.
Perfect for padding out millions of interactive X bot accounts without raising suspicion.
Yeah looks like they totally stopped it for this very reason.
