GGoogle is indexing the conversations that users have with its chatbot Bard on the answer pages . But not only that, it is also indexing the conversations of its competitors' chatbots.
A bug that makes multiple conversations visible in Bard
We know that Bard is currently in an experimental phase and, as stated in the chatbot's Privacy Help Center, the company stores the conversations and interactions that users have with the chatbot. This information is also reviewed by human reviewers in order to improve the product. While Google assures that it protects the privacy of participants, it advises against sharing sensitive information.
But as SEO consultant Juan González Villa recently france number data posted in a thread on social network X, Google has been indexing users' conversations on Bard in the search results, an error that he describes as a serious mistake.
According to Gonzalez Villa, SEO consultant Gagan Ghotra was the first to discover Google's bug and publish it on X. Ghotra indicated that Bard's conversation URLs also rank as snippets for some queries.

You can easily check the extent of this error from the Google search engine itself : you will get results like this conversation in Italian with Bard about the rise in temperatures in the Mediterranean.
