The ADL described Grok's actions as "irresponsible, dangerous and antisemitic." In May, xAI attributed an unauthorized change to Grok's response software, which led to the chatbot discussing "white genocide" in South Africa. Elon Musk had previously promised an upgrade to Grok, citing "far too much garbage in any foundation model trained on uncorrected data."

The update grants Gemini access to these communications regardless of previous settings, but users can disable the cross-app integration by adjusting the app's settings or uninstalling it entirely. However, some features, such as storing information and sending data to Google, cannot be prevented through this setting alone, leaving users vulnerable to potential data breaches.
