Privacy In Danger: Thousands of chats were 'leaked' on Google due to this feature of ChatGPT..

If you use ChatGPT, then you may be shocked to know that all your chats are visible in Google Search. Now, OpenAI has confirmed that the feature due to which this happened has been discontinued. The thing to note is that thousands of chats came into the public domain due to the ChatGPT Search Feature. In simple language, it means that whatever you talked to this AI tool, everything was visible in Google.

OpenAI's Chief Information Security Officer Dan Stucky has shared a post on X (Twitter) and informed that the feature that was showing ChatGPT chats in the search engine has been removed. In the post, he wrote that this feature was being run as an experiment. Dan Stucky said that for this feature, users had to opt in, first select the chat to share, and then click on the checkbox to share it with the search engine.

He said, Ultimately we believe that this feature has given people many opportunities to accidentally share things that they did not want to share, so we are removing this option. One thing is clear from this: ChatGPT has not done this intentionally; only the chats of those people who used this feature were visible in Google. On using this feature, a link is generated which can be shared. Stucky also said that we are working together with search engines to remove the chats that have appeared on the Internet.
