Neither ChatGPT, Bard, nor Claude behave in this fashion. To which ones are you referring?


If you use the ChatGPT "Share" feature and send the link to someone, anyone who has the link can view it. How else did you think it worked? They have no access control ui.


That is an explicit share. That link does not exist until you click the share button. With Phind, the URL to the chat is the share link. It's like every google doc having 'People with the link can view' turned on by default. If you create a random string and add it to their URL scheme and happen on a chat, you can view it regardless of if it's been intentionally shared by the creator, you don't even have to be logged into Phind.


Both Perplexity and You.com do this as well.
