Stop X from using your posts to train [Elmo's] AI

X, formerly known as Twitter, has added a setting that allows users to opt out of allowing the platform to use their posts to train its artificial intelligence, known as Grok.

According to 9to5Mac, it’s unclear exactly when the setting was enabled, but users were opted in by default. The outlet reported that X has been using public posts and interactions to train its AI since May, but now, users can opt out.

To opt out, users must use the web version of X. A post from the platform’s Safety account said the ability to opt out will be rolling out to the mobile app at a later time.

How to opt out:

• Visit the Desktop version of X
  • Click “Settings and privacy” under the “More” menu on the left
  • Click “Privacy and safety”
  • Under “Data sharing and personalization,” click “Grok”
  • Uncheck the box that says “Allow your posts as well as your interactions, inputs, and results with Grok to be used for training and fine-tuning”
