As Forbes reports, the issue stems from the chatbot's share button. Every time a user clicks the button from the bottom of a chat window, it generates a unique, shareable URL. While most users might assume it's a private link only accessible to the people they share it with, the link actually gets published on Grok's website, making the content discoverable on search engines.

Unique links are created when Grok users press a button to share a transcript of their conversation - but as well as sharing the chat with the intended recipient, the button also appears to have made the chats searchable online. A Google search on Thursday revealed it had indexed nearly 300,000 Grok conversations. It has led one expert to describe AI chatbots as a "privacy disaster in progress".

Hundreds of thousands of conversations that users had with Elon Musk's xAI chatbot Grok are easily accessible through Google Search, reports Forbes. Whenever a Grok user clicks the "share" button on a conversation with the chatbot, it creates a unique URL that the user can use to share the conversation via email, text or on social media. According to Forbes, those URLs are being indexed by search engines like Google, Bing, and DuckDuckGo, which in turn lets anyone look up those conversations on the web.

"We're still hesitant with X because it's historically underperformed and Grok, its AI assistant, is unproven. We'd need proof of its viability from a reputable source."

"Grok is good enough that you should be able to upload an ad and do nothing else. Grok will figure out everything from there. You don't need to do anything at all."

xAI issued a statement saying, "First off, we deeply apologize for the horrific behavior that many experienced." It acknowledged that Grok's issues arose from a code update.

Nikita Bier joined Elon Musk's X, claiming it as 'the most important social network in the world.' However, his stint was marred by Grok's infamous Nazi episode.

Grok is left leaning and continues to spread fake news and propaganda. When people give up their own discernment, stop seeking the truth, and depend on AI to analyze information, they will be lost.
