For clarity, these rights include, for example, curating, transforming, and translating. This license authorizes us to make your Content available to the rest of the world and to let others do the same. You agree that this license includes the right for us to (i) analyze text and other information you provide and to otherwise provide, promote, and improve the Services, including, for example, for use with and '''training of our machine learning and artificial intelligence models, whether generative or another type'''…"</blockquote>This development raises concerns over the user's right to his own intellectual data posted on X. There is also concern over the privacy implications of private conversations being used to train a public AI. This AI may use work by content creators, artists, and writers without compensation. [[EULA ~~Roofie~~|Being buried in a large TOS]], this is a clear example of taking away the consumer's right of ownership and not obtaining adequate disclosure.

As a response to the increased backlash, X has released a feature to opt out of sharing data by navigating 4 different menus (Settings⇒Privacy and Safety⇒Data Sharing and Personalization⇒Grok⇒Allow your posts as well as your interactions, inputs, and results with Grok to be used for training and fine-tuning).<ref>https://www.theverge.com/2024/7/26/24206904/x-grok-ai-train-turn-off</ref> This setting being on by default is an example of a [[dark pattern]].
