Hundreds of thousands of conversations that users had with XAI Chatbot GroK Elon Musk are easily accessible via Google Search, Forbes reports.
Whenever the GROK user clicks the “Share” conversation with Chatbot, creates a unique URL, which the user can use to share the conversation via E -Mail, SMS or on social media. According to Forbes, these URL addresses are indexed by search engines such as Google, Bing and Duckduckgo, which in turn allows everyone to search for these conversations on the Internet.
A similar problem had the recently affected problem of chatbot users. Meta dirty conversations with the clear person AI; and asking for instructions for MET cooking.
The XAI rules prohibit the use of their bot to “promote critical damage to human life” or develop “bejm, chemical weapons or weapons of mass destruction”, although of course it did not stop users from asking Groch for help in such matters.
According to the conversations made available by Google, GROK gave users instructions on the creation of fentanyl, mentioned various suicidal methods, distributed the advice of building bombs, and even presented a detailed plan to kill Elon Musk.
Xai did not answer immediately at the request for comment. We also asked when Xai began to index the conversation of Grok.
At the end of last month, CHATGPT users took the alarm that their chats were indexed in Google, which Opeli described as a “short -term experiment.” In the musk post, a quote tweeted with the words “GROK FTW“Grok explained that” there is no such function of sharing “and” Priorities (s) privacy. “
