According to some users, the settings cannot be accessed via x's mobile apps, so you'll have to uncheck the box on the web. It's also worth noting that Grok is not trained to use any tweets from private x accounts.

twitter just turned on a default setting for everyone that gives them the right to use your data to train grok. They never announced it. You can turn this off using the web, but it's hidden. You can't turn it off using the mobile app.

One of x's strengths for Grok was that it had the advantage of using real-time information that is posted on the platform, namely users' tweets. That only works if users opt in to share their data with the chatbot or opt in automatically. But x isn't exactly the pinnacle of truth and accuracy. It's full of jokers, and copying their jokes could be one reason why. ai-news-1851416945″ rel=”nofollow noopener” target=”_blank” data-ylk=”slk:Grok;elm:context_link;elmt:doNotAffiliate;cpos:9;pos:1;itc:0;sec:content-canvas”> In any case, it is not exactly uncommon for ai models to be trained on material.
