You shouldn’t upload your medical images to AI chatbots

Elon Musk, who in a post encouraged users to upload their medical imagery to Grok, conceded the results from Grok are “still early stage,” but that the AI model “will become extremely good.” As for who has access to this Grok data isn’t clear; as noted elsewhere, Grok’s privacy policy says that X shares some users’ personal information with an unspecified number of “related” companies.
@TwistedWhim Same goes for the many flavors of finding ancestors through genetics. Marketed as a fun project, until the company sells your genetic code.
