Recently, Twitter (X) updated its terms of service, giving users disturbing news: all content posted on the platform may be used to train their artificial intelligence models. The chilling news has once again made artists anxious, and now it seems even more important to be careful when sharing your creations on Twitter.
Under the new terms of service, any content a user posts, submits or displays on Twitter automatically grants the platform a "worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license." Simply put, Twitter can use, copy, modify and publish user content, and can even use the content in any existing or future media and distribution methods, including for the purpose of improving service quality. Most notably, Twitter made it clear that they use text and other information provided by users to train their machine learning and artificial intelligence models.
Moreover, Twitter not only uses the content itself, but also provides users' creations to other companies or organizations for them to use and improve the service. This means that Twitter can not only use your works to train AI, but may also share these works with other developers. Although Twitter's AI training is nothing new, until the new terms are introduced, users can choose not to let Twitter crawl their content for training. Now, while there are still options to prevent Grok from using your posts, the new terms seem to mean that no matter what choices you make, your content will still be used for AI training.
This new term will take effect on November 15, 2024. Many users are dissatisfied with this and have expressed their concerns on the platform. It can be seen that this change has aroused widespread concern and discussion among users. Users who want to know more details can directly view the updated terms of service.
