As Fast Company reports, "Nearly 4,500 conversations come up in results for the Google site search, though many don’t include personal details or identifying information." In ChatGPT, if you chose to share a chat or prompt with someone else, you were hit with a tick option, which gave it permission to 'make this chat discoverable'.

Thousands of private ChatGPT conversations have been appearing in Google search results because of the chatbot's "Share" feature, which the company recently removed following a backlash.

Audit your old links; search site:chatgpt.com/share [your name or topic] to see what’s visible. Delete public links from ChatGPT’s Shared Links dashboard — though this may not remove them from Google right away. Use screenshots or paste text if you want to share AI-generated answers without a public link.
