I don’t think that’s what “sharing” refers to in this case. This is about users who did/didn’t modify the settings of their chatbot to make their inputs and outputs publicly available via search. 404’s previous reporting on ChatGPT suggested some users may not have understood what the sharing option actually meant in this context.

that line has been hellva blurred last few months.
