Your public chatgpt -querys are indexed by Google and other search engines | Techcrunch

It is a strange look in the human mind: if you Filter search results On Google, Bing and other search engines, only URLs from the domain “https://chatgpt.com/share” contain, you can find strangers conversations with Chatgpt.

Sometimes these shared conversation connections are pretty boring – people ask for help renovate their bathroomconcept astrophysicsand find Reception.

In another case, one user asks ChatGpt to rewrite his resume for a certain application (based on the LinkedIn of this person, who was easy to find based on the details in the chat log book, they did not get the task). Someone else asks questions that sound like they came from an incelforum. Another person asks the Snarky, hostile AI assistant or they can microwave a metal fork (For the record: no), but they continue to ask the AI more and more absurd and trollish questions, which ultimately led to a guide called “How to use a microwave without recalling Satan: a beginners guide.”

Chatgpt does not make these conversations public as standard.

A conversation would only be added with an “/share” -url if the user deliberately clicks on the “Share” button on his own chat and then clicks on a second “Link” button. The service also explains that “your name, adapted instructions and all messages that you add after sharing remain private.”

However, users probably do not expect that Google will index their shared chatgpt -left, possibly betray personal information (my apologies to the person whose linked I have discovered).

Although unintentionally, this is a standard that was partially determined by Google. When people share public links to files from Google Drive, such as documents with the setting “anyone with link can view”, Google can index them in the search query. However, Google generally does not come up to send documents that are not publicly placed on the internet – for example, a document can be in search of if it is linked to a trusted website.

But this does not seem to be the case for these chatgpt logs. OpenAi did not comment before publication.

“Neither Google nor any other search engine arranges which pages are made public on the internet,” a Google spokesperson told Techcrunch. “Publishers of these pages have full control over the question of whether they are indexed by search engines.”
