Elon Musk’s social media platform X has rolled out a new update that brings its AI chatbot, Grok, directly into X Chat. The feature allows users to long-press on any message and select “Ask Grok” to get an AI-generated response or explanation. While the company says chats remain private and encrypted, the announcement quickly caught attention across the platform.The update has triggered a wave of discussion, largely around privacy and how artificial intelligence is slowly becoming part of everyday conversations. Within hours of the announcement, users began sharing screenshots, reactions, and jokes, turning the update into a trending topic.Grok integrated into X Chat sparks privacy debateAccording to the announcement, Grok can now analyze individual chat messages when a user manually chooses to share a message with the AI. X clarified that only the selected message is sent in an unencrypted form for processing, while the rest of the chat remains end-to-end encrypted. The company emphasized that Grok does not automatically read or scan conversations.Despite these clarifications, many users focused on the idea that any part of a private chat could be shared with an AI tool, even if done intentionally. That concern became the core reason the update went viral.Elon Musk, who owns X and oversees xAI, positioned the feature as a way to add context, explanations, and fact-checking directly inside conversations. Grok has already been available on X for public posts, but its move into private chats marked a significant expansion of its role on the platform.Shortly after the announcement, reactions began pouring in. One widely shared comment read, “And there goes my little semblance of privacy” capturing the anxiety many users felt.Another user joked,“So now my chats will have opinions too”while others tried to see the upside, calling it“finally a group chat fact checker.”Some reactions were more dismissive, with users poking fun at the frequency of announcements on the platform. “Anything is breaking nowadays,” one post read, reflecting how often updates are framed as major developments.The mix of concern and humor helped the topic spread quickly, with users debating whether the feature is useful, intrusive, or simply inevitable. Even those not opposed to AI questioned how comfortable people would feel knowing a private message could be analyzed, even by choice.In the end, the integration into X Chat highlights the growing presence of AI in personal digital spaces. While X maintains that user privacy is intact, the reaction shows that trust and transparency remain sensitive issues. Whether users embrace or avoid the feature, the conversation around privacy and AI in private messaging is clearly far from over.
