How to quit Musk’s Grok AI from receiving education for everything you’ve ever said or done on X.

You can now tell X’s Grok AI to start training on your work by finding the right settings.
Twitter/X automatically added you to the Grok AI training program. This will allow Elon Musk to use all of your tweets and posts on Twitter. Here’s how to disable the hidden setting. Musk calls his AI Grok. Twitter/X describes it as AI with humor and “a rebellious streak” and “an outside perspective on humankind.” This makes it a “unique and entertaining companion.” Sure. Okay. Twitter/X says that it was also not “pre-trained” on X data, including public X posts. This claim is outdated at best. Grok may not have been trained on posts before, but it is certainly being trained now. Grok uses your posts for training without an announcement or even your consent. Grok AI is an optional subscription. While this limits who can use the feature, it does not limit whose posts can be used to train it. You can stop it from doing this in two ways. First, you can deny it online. Twitter/X will not show you the location of this setting, and it is unlikely that they ever will. You must also do it on a Mac, PC, and in a web browser. It can’t be changed on mobile devices as of July 2024 because, of course, it can’t. Go to Grok settings on a Mac
Untick the Data Sharing box
Click Delete conversation history to delete the conversation history.
You may not want to delete your conversation history but you can do it anyway. The setting seems to state that Grok cannot use any of your old or new posts once you have denied it. It’s hard to un-train it from what it has already learned. Either the setting works, and your conversation history will not be touched, OR it has already been touched and there is nothing you can do. It’s also not clear what will happen if someone who has left the checkbox checked retweets a post that you make. If they ever read our emails and notice this, could you send us an email? The second option is to stop using the service. It’s a lot simpler than it used be. It may be that leaving is the only way to stop Grok from using your work or at least prevent it from being used any more. We can’t help but assume that the “deny” setting will be respected. However, it is a hidden feature and, despite vague government actions, there is no enforcement of this issue.
