The visible Claude chatbot conversations included prompts from Anthropic's team for the chatbot to create apps, games and a "comedy Anthropic office simulator." Other users tasked Claude with writing a book, coding and completing corporate tasks that revealed staff names and emails. Several transcripts made users identifiable by name, or by details shared in the prompt. Google estimated that it had indexed just under 600 conversations.

Unique links are created when Grok users press a button to share a transcript of their conversation - but as well as sharing the chat with the intended recipient, the button also appears to have made the chats searchable online. A Google search on Thursday revealed it had indexed nearly 300,000 Grok conversations. It has led one expert to describe AI chatbots as a "privacy disaster in progress".
