It’s a strange glimpse into the human mind: if you filter search results on Google, Bing, and other search engines to only include URLs from the domain “https://chatgpt.com/share,” you can find strangers’ conversations with ChatGPT.

When a small but critical portion of shared ChatGPT queries were found to be easily searchable on the open web, OpenAI decided to batten down the hatches.

Hundreds of ChatGPT conversations have been exposed in Google search results – revealing alleged discussions of insider trading, potential fraud and doctors’ questions. Researchers uncovered more than 500 conversations that were available via the search engine, as well as thousands more that had been archived elsewhere on the web.
