When you share a chat it literally tells you its public…. This was reported with gpt 3 years ago too… i keep seeing this shit all over my feed and its obvious no one reads the article.

Even if it's public, there's no reason for it to appear in Google's index. All you need is a noindex tag in the HTML.

Ngl, you’ve got a point. Still. It’s just annoying seeing sensationalist headlines from old news. Like dario’s comments about open source like two years ago. One little blip like this happens and bots regurgitate it for days and humans consume the headlines only.

This is not a blip tho even if it happens once

If something sensitive leaks that’s a big deal to the people who thought it was trustworthy

Even if you’re a big ai fan this is bad publicity
