Maybe there’s two mistakes here: 1: the user made the chat public and 2: Maybe Anthropic didn’t have their robots.txt file set correctly?

Basically yes to #2, which was a big mistake on Anthropic's part, but #1 is still unclear about how Google could have ended up there. Putting the chats on a Google-indexed page would make the most sense (and mostly absolve Google from responsibility), but who would be doing that and where?

Tinfoil hat: I wonder if Google was crawling through emails and also made a mistake of their own.
