ChatGPT scrubbed today nearly 50,000 shared conversations from Google's index after our article. They thought they'd solved the problem. But did they?A new Digital Digging investigation, here is the first one, conducted with Belgian researcher Nicolas Deleur, has uncovered 110,000 ChatGPT conversations preserved via Archive.org's Wayback Machine. When users click "share" on a ChatGPT conversation, they think they're creating a temporary link for a friend or colleague. What they don't realize is they were also creating a permanent, searchable record of their thoughts, confessions, and sometimes illegal activities seen by Archive.org.I asked the director of the Wayback Machine, Mark Graham, to comment. Graham: “I can/will tell you we have not gotten, or honored any requests for (large scale) URL exclusion of "chatgpt.com/share" URLs. If OpenAI, the rights holder for material from the domain chatgpt.com, asked for the exclusion of URLs from the URL pattern chatgpt.com we would probably honor that request. However, they have not made such a request”As we speak, also the chats of Grok are still visible in Google via site:grok.com/share but they are quickly removed.While OpenAI scrambled to de-index conversations from Google today, they forgot the internet's most basic rule—nothing truly disappears. Over 100.000 ChatGPT chats are still in Archive.org, although with a twist. The chats aren't just links or fragments. They're complete conversations, frozen in time, containing similar “confessions” we exposed yesterday. Users shared these chats publicly - not by default, but only by clicking Share.Among the freshly uncovered conversations, patterns emerge from our original findings. Most of the shared chats are harmless, but some of them are not. Here are three examples from the archive.org database (see note below why we don’t mention names):The Amazon Land Grab StrategyIn one particularly damning conversation, an Italian-speaking lawyer for a multinational energy corporatio
