Says in the article the users clicked "share chat" then shared the links with others on services like What's App.
Sounds like What's App should get some flack for this too.

Well I'm shocked more people don't ignore the flashing lights at train stations and just drive into the tracks right in front the trains frankly.
unrelated but kinda related - I’m a firefighter. Often seen folks driving toward the scene lights like moths. Can be sketchy sometimes. I suspect it’s the collimated leds just piercing into the brains of the already distracted drivers.

Are these the same users that think the sycophant machine really loves them?

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.

I don't know what the deal is, just that the article specifically names What's App.

I've always been under the impression that the little grey supporting text being little and grey is because the designer didn't want it read but was required to put it somewhere. A dark pattern, if you will. Is it actually not intended that way?
When it’s used correctly, it should be adding a little extra color or context that’s not critical for most users, but will be helpful to a certain segment.
Or it’s bullshit that you -know- the user doesn’t care about, but it’s needed to make some person or department happy.
Or it’s a dark pattern.

How does it discover the link though? Is it crawling your whatsapp chats, or just trying every possible chatgpt share link?

Target fixation. If you're looking at something, you drift towards it.

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

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.

even here
It's not there either

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 -
