This Is How To Stop AI Grok From Using Your Posts On X

JAKARTA - Elon Musk's artificial intelligence machine, Grok AI, which is now a premium feature on X (formerly Twitter), has started using your posts for training without explicit permission from you. This is certainly troubling. But there are a number of ways to stop it, if you don't want your posts or content on the platform to be used as training material.

Here's how to stop Grok AI from using the content you upload on X.

Steps to Stop AI Groques from Training with Your Posts:

Open Grok Settings on Mac or PC:

Access to Sharing Data Settings:

Clear Checks on Permit Box:

Optional: Clear Conversation History:

Important Notes:

Effective Settings: While changing this setting should stop Grok AI from using your new posts, there is uncertainty whether pre-existing data will still be used. There is no guarantee that the data that has been collected before will be deleted or not used.

Problems with Retweets: If someone who continues to allow data usage by Grok AI retweets your posts, there may be a possibility that your data can still be used. It's not entirely clear how this will affect your privacy settings.

Extreme Alternative: If you are dissatisfied with this option, leaving service X can be the last solution to ensure the AI Grok doesn't use your data in the future.

Given that this setting is hidden and this feature is not clearly announced, you may have to wait for further information or clarification from X to determine how your data is used and protected.
