The action button says "Post", which to me is pretty close to Publish And shared ChatGPT chats are often indexed by Google, so they become public. Although I agree it's not exactly the same because of the lack of builtin discovery

“Post” is indicative for a person paying attention. For a random non tech person trying to share thing it’s just one more button to press to get the link. Note it’s very hard to share the chat while not making it public - you will need to explicitly mark it private after you posted it. I bet you for absolutely majority of users posts being public and discoverable pretty much unintended consequence of them trying to share it to someone. As for google I assume it’s true if you post your chat somewhere (I.e Reddit). For most of shares these chats never end up being on the internet (I.e stay in private chats in messengers). So it is different again. Overall it is pretty much predator behavior exploiting people’s need to share their chats to get them doing something unintended and good for Meta. This being said whole idea of an app with chats as posts is quite lame, so not sure if it will stick.

> And shared ChatGPT chats are often indexed by Google, so they become public. Do you mean creating the sharing link would make the chat log public? It will be interesting to read other people's chat on a specific topic, but googling "topic site:chatgpt.com" seems to just return Custom GPT stuff.

  Try "topic site:chatgpt.com/share/*"

    What is the purpose of quoting "topic" as if it is a search keyword? Are you searching for this literal string in the logs? Why are you bundling it with the "site:" operator? I got an empty search results error with your suggested turd. https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/2466433?sjid=12887468958510205415-NC https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/2466433?sjid=128... Why not a blank search without it -- you do not need to specify any search term if using "site:[...]" site:chatgpt.com/share/* Quite fruitful -- I didn't need to put any quotes around yet

      Yeah I included quotes for the comment to delimit the quiet, you don't need them in the search

    Thank you. I know what my next five hours are going to be spent on.

I think I have used share button to share chats with personal stuffs with close people thinking that the chat is as close as possible to "unlisted" youtube videos. Hope that OpenAI implements something similar or even something with a password.
