JAKARTA - OpenAI announced it has disabled experimental features in the ChatGPT app that allow users to share their conversations to be indexed by search engines like Google.

This feature was originally designed as a way for users to share conversations that are considered beneficial publicly. But it seems that this feature doesn't have a long life.

This feature only applies if the user consciously chooses to share certain conversations and ticks the option so that the conversation can be indexed by the search engine, wrote OpenAI's Chief Information Security, Dane Stuckey in its announcement on X.

But unfortunately, according to OpenAI, this feature is finally considered too risky because it allows users to share information accidentally.

"We decided to delete this option because it is too likely that users share things they don't mean," he explained further.

OpenAI also stated that they are trying to remove content that has already been indexed from search results. The process of deleting this feature will be completely completed on all user accounts by tomorrow morning.

The company reaffirms its commitment to user security and privacy as a top priority in product development and their features.

"Security and privacy are our top priority, and we will continue to strive so that it is reflected maximally in our products and features," he concluded.
