An X user (h/t @EasyBakedOven) found a data sharing page for Grok in X's settings that is enabled by default. It says "Allow your posts as well as your interactions, input and results with Grok to be used for training and fine-tuning" and the setting is turned on.

The nasty part is that Musk-led X didn't seek user consent or even inform users before enabling AI training on its X posts. Not only that, the setting to disable AI training is not available in the X app. You need to move to the web version of X to disable it. In addition to your X posts, your chats and interactions with Grok AI can also be used to train its AI model.

Grok's help center page further states, "To continuously improve your experience, we may use your X posts as well as your user interactions, inputs and results with Grok for training and fine-tuning purposes. This also means that when you interact with Grok, your interactions may , input and results are used to train and improve the performance of the system."
