ChatGPT Users Shocked to Learn Their Chats Were in Google Search Results
NO LOC, JUL 31 – Nearly 4,500 shared ChatGPT conversations are indexed by Google and other search engines, often without users realizing their chats become publicly searchable.
- On Thursday, Fast Company reported that Google search engine now indexes shared ChatGPT conversations, raising privacy concerns for users who are likely unaware.
- Introduced in May 2023, the Share button includes a small checkbox that prompts users to opt in for search engine indexing when sharing ChatGPT conversations.
- Using Google search, users can type site:chatgpt.com/share to find nearly 4,500 shared conversations, raising privacy concerns.
