Oops! Google Search caught publicly indexing users’ conversations with Bard AI::Gagan Ghotra observed that Google Search had begun to index shared Bard conversational links into its search results pages, potentially…
Looks like it’s indexing URLs which have been shared?
From what I understood, links to the conversation that have been created for sharing them.
Yeah. ChatGPT does the same thing. I presume if you haven’t used the share options you’re good, but still. Big oof on Google’s part.
I don’t think there’s any malice here. Someone just forgot to put up a robots.txt on the bard website.
perhaps not malice but certainly negligence
This shouldn’t be an ‘oops’
Somebody should goto jail for it.
While I agree in principle that we need more accountability for tech companies I don’t think jail time really fits the situation. Maybe some sort of damages to those affected would make more sense

Is anyone really surprised by this?

I mean, Google has a relatively good history of account security, so yes, I am surprised a little.
Not surprised they’re mining everyone’s data, just surprised they’re exposing it.
