Hello Techies, welcome back. Do you too love using X(Twitter) just like me?
Then, here’s some news you must take a look at.

X has by default enabled a setting that allows the company to train its Grok AI on users’ posts.
The good news is that you can switch it off and delete your conversation history with the AI.
If the setting is turned on, X can “utilize your X posts as well as your user interactions, inputs, and results with Grok for training and fine-tuning purposes,” according to the platform’s settings page.
Additionally, X notes that “this also means your interactions, inputs, and results may be shared with our service provider xAI for these purposes.”
Although it’s not possible to disable the setting via X’s mobile app, you can do so on the desktop version of the social network.
Quick tip: if you are too tired to open your desktop. Just go on to the browser and set the desktop site.

How to Disable X’s Data-Sharing Settings:
- Open up the Settings page on X on your desktop.
- Select the “Privacy and safety” button.
- Select “Grok.”
- Uncheck the box.
After you have turned off the setting, you can delete your conversation history (if any) with the AI by clicking the “Delete conversation history” button.
Earlier this week, X owner Elon Musk said xAI had started training its Grok large language model using “the most powerful AI training cluster in the world.” Musk said that the AI model would become “the world’s most powerful AI by every metric by December [2024].”
Now, it’s clear that Musk and X were hoping to use more than the powerful training cluster to train its AI by also using users’ past tweets and posts.
X isn’t the only social network that has utilized user data for training its AI, as Meta notified EU and U.K. users last month of an upcoming change that would allow it to use public content on Facebook and Instagram to train its AI.
The company eventually bowed to regulatory pressure and paused its plans.
