When you share something it's not private anymore! More news at 23:00!

Its one thing to not be private. Its an entirely different thing for that thing to be crawled, indexed and published on the world's biggest catalogue
-
How does it discover the link though? Is it crawling your whatsapp chats, or just trying every possible chatgpt share link?
sounds to me just like googles bots are finding them... could also just be maybe chrome or similar taking note when it finds a page and dropping a dime to google.

When it's chats with LLMs trained on this very type of data, it's mostly the user's fault. Of course, executives of LLM companies should still rot in prison.

Apparently these people ticked a box saying "allow this chat to be indexed by search engines" and were surprised when their chats were indexed by search engines?

It’s totally avoidable if you don’t use it, but I think the onus is mostly on the companies for advertising these chat bots as like, a friendly personal assistant when that’s absolutely not what they are. Like all “AI” shit, it runs mostly on consumer deception.

Where is that box ?
even here
It's not there either

I don't see why, least my understanding, you hit share chat, it creates a public link... google's robots discover everything public and index it. Seems to me like the same problem would happen if you generated a link to share on any platform, and burned it and never sent information to any platform. Unless googles indexing all whatsapp messages, but that would be a much bigger story.
Anyway point is blame IMO falls on either chatgpt for not properly configuring a robots.txt, or google for not following it.
Google's search bots shouldn't find chats except through dumb luck.
Because without the GUID, it's nearly impossible to find any shared chats at all.
That's just how GUIDs work -

It's in the article, it said it was a short lived experiment.

Y'all need to read the 5 minute article. It was a short lived feature where they had a checkbox that said: "index my chat into search engines". Which is honestly dumb as shit if you ask me.

I remember seeing the check box option appear to directly index to google, this explains why I can't find it anymore.
I tried searching unique things in my shared text and couldn't find any of them on the goog -

Seems like a skill issue to be honest. Bunch of boomers checking boxes they dont understand, since thats entirely optional thing to create. Those public links arent created by themselves.

Not on the internet it's not.

how are they shocked, when they also get blog posts, and other posts being summarized on the AI search?

Its in the article. There is litterally a button, which is off by defualt, that you can turn on when you click share that says "make this chat discoverable, allows it to be shown in web searches". This is people opting in to indexing on google then being shocked that they are indexed on google.

Yep, and when you click a button that liteally says "make this discoverable on search engines" which is off by defualt, its the later.
