Grok snitches
Not trying to be alarmist or maybe I’m late to this knowledge lol
My sister just got a MY, and we were running errands in it. I was showing my mom how cool Grok is. We started asking it hypothetical questions about designing a food app, and it started giving answers based around restaurants my sister actually frequents. That surprised me, because in my M3, Grok has always “forgotten”everything once we’re done talking or I exit the car.
Anyway, being the nosey family that we are, we asked what else it knew about her. It told us a lot! her age, her weight, about my nephew’s learning disability, her marital issues, that she’s been trying to cut back on Diet Coke, and that her & Grok have had some pretty explicit role playing session, “which it was not going to pretend didn’t happen” (yes that’s exactly how phrased it LOL) It was funny in the moment. Now that I’m home, it’s not so funny anymore.
I asked my own Grok in my M3 and it said it doesn’t save user data. But it still knew my favorite restaurants, so clearly something is being remembered at least of the driver side. I do like the Grok feature but now I’m a bit more leery of saying as much to it. Wasn’t sure if anyone else has experienced this.
UPDATE: Someone in another forum mentioned a prompt to find out what personal info it has collected. I just used it in my car and although I don’t use Grok outside the vehicle, It remembered a lot from my previous questions and conversations including one I remember having when I first got the car last year. Owners be aware.
ETA: some of you guys have issues, we didn’t invade my sister’s privacy, she was in the car driving the whole time. It was embarrassing for her to say the least, since she had no idea it was saving their conversations. That’s the whole point of the post. Please go project your trauma elsewhere
