As one might assume from conversations that weren't meant to be shared publicly, some of these chats contained embarrassing or questionable discourse. TechCrunch said it found a user asking ChatGPT for help rewriting a resume for a specific job application, a job which TechCrunch was able to deduce based on the conversation. Another user asked ChatGPT questions that, according to TechCrunch, "sound like they came out of an incel forum," though the outlet didn't elaborate on the contents of the chat.
Some chats were archived by the Wayback Machine
Following the initial story, sleuths like those from Digital Digging discovered that some of these shared conversations even ended up archived on the Wayback Machine. By their count, 110,000 ChatGPT threads were accessible through this tool. Despite OpenAI's efforts to erase the chats from search, many were still available to skim for anyone in the know and interested. Digital Digging's article dropped on Aug. 1, and, at the time, OpenAI had not issued a take down request to the Wayback Machine concerning the chatgpt.com/share URLs. However, as of Aug. 4, the Wayback Machine says this domain is excluded, so it appears OpenAI did eventually make the request.
That's not overly clear, though it's not hard to assume the benefit to OpenAI. The more exposure ChatGPT has, the better it is for the company. And as the internet increasingly moves toward both AI (think AI Overviews) and forum-based answers (think Reddit), I could see OpenAI thinking they have an opportunity to capitalize on the market here. If a user asks ChatGPT a question they think was answered well, perhaps they share it with search engines, so that other users benefit as well. Now, when someone googles that same question, maybe that ChatGPT conversation floats to the top of the search results, right next to the AI Overview or relevant Reddit threads.
Chatbots are not private
You can now rest easy knowing your ChatGPT conversations won't end up on the front page of Google. However, don't assume that your chats with any bot are generally private. In fact, there's a good chance the company that owns your bot is using your conversations to train their models, or that human reviews will even be able to see your chats.
As such, you really shouldn't use chatbots for anything sensitive or personal. OpenAI's Sam Altman offered a good reminder of this last month: During an interview with Theo Von, Altman discussed how so many of their users, especially young people, use ChatGPT as a therapist or life coach. Altman said: "Right now, if you talk to a therapist or a lawyer or a doctor about those problems, there’s legal privilege for it ... We haven’t figured that out yet for when you talk to ChatGPT."
