🚨 SHOCKING: people are unknowingly making their ChatGPT interactions PUBLIC, and they are being indexed by Google (see my test below). My privacy recommendations: When people interact with ChatGPT and use the "Share" feature (for example, to send the conversation to family and friends, or to use it in a lecture), this interaction becomes searchable and is apparently being indexed by Google. From my personal test (see one of the screenshots below), when I clicked on the conversations, there was no username (the users were marked as "anonymous"). However, because the vast majority of people don't think these interactions might become indexable, many might share personal or intimate details about themselves or others. They would be extremely anxious if they discovered that there was a public link to these interactions on Google (and others could potentially see them). - A few privacy recommendations to share with friends and family when using ChatGPT and similar AI chatbots: - Don't use the "share" feature (as these interactions might become indexable); - Never share personal information about yourself or others (as there could be unexpected leaks); - Deactivate the memory feature (to reduce the amount of personal data about you being processed and cross-linked with other information about you; it might help to reduce chatbot dependence as well); - Make your conversations anonymous, disable AI training (to reduce the amount of information about you being processed and potentially leaked); - Check other privacy settings that might be relevant and activate them. - 👉 Never miss my analyses and updates on AI's legal and ethical challenges: join my newsletter's 71,000+ subscribers (link below).
