Google's Privacy Breach: Bard AI Conversations Exposed in Search Results

Google Search has been caught publicly indexing shared conversational links from its conversational AI product, Bard, potentially exposing private and confidential information. Users who shared Bard conversation links with designated third parties found that the conversations were being scraped by Google's crawler and showing up publicly in search results. Google acknowledged the issue and stated that they are working on blocking shared chats from being indexed. This incident raises concerns about privacy and reflects poorly on Google's consumer AI ambitions, especially in the face of competition from rival chatbots like OpenAI's ChatGPT.
