It looks like even more AI is going to be trained on your shitposts on X.
X announced back in July that it would use users posts to train X's AI chatbot Grok, but on Wednesday, the social network updated its Privacy Policy to allow third parties to train their AI models on X data, too.
In the third section of the Privacy Policy, X writes that "depending on your settings, or if you decide to share your data, we may share or disclose your information with third parties."
"If you do not opt out, in some instances the recipients of the information may use it for their own independent purposes in addition to those stated in X’s Privacy Policy, including, for example, to train their artificial intelligence models, whether generative or otherwise," the policy reads.
If you haven't already opted out of allowing X to train Grok on your posts, you can still do that. The new policy doesn't go into effect until November 15, 2024, and it doesn't look like there's any way to block X from allowing third parties to train their AI on your posts just yet. God willing, you'll be able to do this once it does go into effect.
