OpenAI said it is working to remove any content that was indexed by search engines like Google.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What they&#8217;re saying.<\/strong> Here&#8217;s the full statement from OpenAI:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&#8220;We just removed a feature from <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ChatGPTapp\">@ChatGPTapp<\/a> that allowed users to make their conversations discoverable by search engines, such as Google. This was a short-lived experiment to help people discover useful conversations. This feature required users to opt-in, first by picking a chat to share, then by clicking a checkbox for it to be shared with search engines (see below). <\/p>\n<p>Ultimately we think this feature introduced too many opportunities for folks to accidentally share things they didn&#8217;t intend to, so we&#8217;re removing the option. We&#8217;re also working to remove indexed content from the relevant search engines. This change is rolling out to all users through tomorrow morning. <\/p>\n<p>Security and privacy are paramount for us, and we&#8217;ll keep working to maximally reflect that in our products and features.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
