ChatGPT shared conversations are being indexed by major search engines, effectively turning private exchanges into publicly discoverable content accessible to millions of users worldwide.
Even so, I’m not sure I’d consider that true consent. An example that comes to mind is meme generator websites, where they give you an option to make the generated meme public. If you don’t tick that, they still give you the link, but it’s not findable by people who don’t have that link.
