A user has raised concerns about potential data sharing between OpenAI’s ChatGPT and xAI’s Grok, sparking a debate about AI privacy. The user reported that Grok was able to identify a highly specific and undocumented software conflict, including the exact game modifications involved, after the user had spent a week troubleshooting the same issue with ChatGPT. This led the user to suspect that ChatGPT data might be feeding into Grok’s knowledge base, despite denials from xAI. The initial report originated on Reddit and is fueling discussions regarding data security and the potential for cross-platform information leakage between competing AI models. The incident raises questions about the extent to which AI companies are ensuring data privacy and preventing unintended data sharing.
