You could well be right, though I think whatever the mix of Show HN spam vs. ham is the point that almost all it gets no attention remains the same.

No worries & thanks! Yea I didn't expect to get them with the excerpts too, that was a surprise bonus.

Unlinked domains can definitely be found in a lot of ways, but like I show in the article there was literally no fetching of the page except for Googlebot. So even if the hostname was leaked somehow the contents of the page require fetching the page, which was only done by Google. Also like I show in the article the content that ChatGPT knows identically matches what's in a Google search snippet, down to where a word-break is.

What I am saying is that this was a glitch where the full prompt rather than a translated prompt was sent to Google Search. OpenAI says they fixed the glitch, so yes it was definitely an error on their part. My research doesn't show how to repro that error, just that it existed.

I definitely wouldn't! Beyond the "glitch" I'm reporting here where full prompts are seemingly sent to GSC, it may still be that searches are scraped... meaning that while it's less obviously personal than a raw prompt it still could leak user intent.

GSC does filter and threshold what shows, but that doesn't always work 100%. Also those filters are built to work against traditional keyword searches, not prompts. It's also supposed to threshold low volume queries which should have kept a lot of things prompts out of GSC, but for whatever reason that wasn't very effective.

I've worked in many GSC consoles over the years, and I've never seen anything like what I saw in this case. (I'm the original author)

Ok this is pretty funny. Just like any good internet commenter this bot didn't actually read the article... which doesn't actually say "AI is a tool, not a panacea" anywhere.

I agree with your take. I've definitely owned and played some excellent sub-$1000 guitars, but at the lower price points things it can be frustrating to deal with things like low-quality tuners, improperly shielded components, etc. I'd say 90% is about pickups, strings, and frets. Most of the 60s guitars I've played were not great tbh.

Yes, it's very much like HotJar, focused on session capture & heatmap.
