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…
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.
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
