Let me explain what&#8217;s happening, and what you have to do is check if you have any public links that can potentially appear in Google Search and other search engines, and how to delete them.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, many reports have been circulating stating that Google is actually crawling those chats (with possible sensitive data) you may have shared using the <strong>&#8220;Share&#8221;<\/strong> option from ChatGPT.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>One of the reasons why this is happening is because of an experimental feature that OpenAI added to ChatGPT, which allows users to make specific conversations discoverable by search engines, such as Google, Bing, and others. The feature also required users to check the <strong>&#8220;Make this chat discoverable&#8221;\u00a0<\/strong>option when creating a public link.<\/p>\n<p>The (somewhat) good news is that, thus far, Google Search seems to have indexed a few thousand links (as noted by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/feed\/update\/urn:li:activity:7356726553562542081\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Olaf Kopp<\/a> from Aufgesang GmbH), which is not a lot, but enough to raise concerns. Also, since the incident happened, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/cryps1s\/status\/1951041845938499669\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">OpenAI has already stated<\/a> that it has removed the feature from ChatGPT, and it&#8217;s actively working to remove indexed content from &#8220;relevant&#8221;
