Tests reveal ChatGPT Plus quoting content only indexed by Google. Is ChatGPT Plus somehow sourcing answers using Google Search results?

OpenAI has removed a feature allowing ChatGPT conversations to be indexed by the Google search engine. The action comes following a growing number of complaints about user privacy. The company called it a “short-lived experiment.”

As Fast Company reports, "Nearly 4,500 conversations come up in results for the Google site search, though many don’t include personal details or identifying information." In ChatGPT, if you chose to share a chat or prompt with someone else, you were hit with a tick option, which gave it permission to 'make this chat discoverable'.
