OpenAI has removed a feature allowing ChatGPT conversations to be indexed by the Google search engine. The action comes following a growing number of complaints about user privacy. The company called it a “short-lived experiment.”

A simple checkbox previously let ChatGPT users unintentionally publish their chats to the internet. OpenAI has now disabled the feature.

The now-disabled feature allowed users to share ChatGPT conversations with others. While technically opt-in, the implementation made it easy for users to unintentionally expose sensitive content to the open web.
