Oops Google Search caught publicly indexing users’ conversations with Bard AI (venturebeat.com)

Bard isn’t being taken seriously by google and it shows, which is alarming since this is their apparent strategy to deal with LLMs. If I was in charge of that project and I chatted with Bard on launch day, then I would never have made it public because it’s too embarrassingly stupid (!) of an Intelligence model to be ready. Not even alpha or beta!!!


These links were probably shared to a site that was crawled by Google and indexed. I don't think this can happen with your personal queries shared with friends or in a closed circle.


Reaction: Whomever works in PRODUCT at Google has egg on their face.

An interesting idea:

One could use this feature, and the special site:https://bard.google.com/share URL (or https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=site%3Ahttps%3A%2F%2Fbard.g...) to have Bard host arbitrary conversations.

EDIT

Found some cyber-stalking / self-investigation...

Could you please stop posting unsubstantive comments and flamebait? You've unfortunately been doing it repeatedly. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.

If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.


The irony is strong in you....
