Hundreds of thousands of Grok chatbot conversations are showing up in Google Search — here's what happened
If you've ever chatted with Grok, the Elon Musk-backed AI assistant from xAI, and hit the 'Share' button, your conversation might be searchable on Google. According to a recent Forbes report, more than 300,000 Grok conversations have been indexed by search engines, exposing user chats that were likely intended to be shared privately, not broadcast online. This comes just weeks after ChatGPT users discovered their shared chats were searchable on Google too. This discovery once again raises serious concerns about how AI platforms handle content sharing and user privacy. Built by Elon Musk's xAI, Grok includes a feature that lets users share conversations through a unique link. Once users share, those chats are no longer private, and are getting picked up by Google's web crawlers. From there, the chat are turning up in search results, meaning anyone can access and read them. In both the ChatGPT cases and this one, the issue comes down to how "shareable" URLs are structured and whether AI companies are doing enough to protect users who may not realize their content is publicly viewable. The implications go beyond just a few embarrassing screenshots. Some Grok chats could contain sensitive, personal or even private details. Many users likely had no idea their shared conversations were being published for the world to see until now. This privacy breach highlights a growing challenge in AI product design: how to balance transparency and social sharing with greater privacy protections. When users hit 'Share,' they should be clearly informed that their link will be publicly accessible, and AI companies need to use best practices like noindex tags or restricted access URLs to avoid surprises like this. To prevent these kinds of privacy slip-ups, AI platforms should: Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. This isn't the first controversy Grok has faced. the chatbot has come under fire in recent months for questionable responses and controversial content. But this latest issue hits at a core trust concern: how user data is managed and whether privacy is truly being prioritized. As more people turn to AI tools for personal, educational, wellness and emotional support, platforms like xAI will need to step up their safeguards or risk eroding the very trust they're trying to build. Although the damage is already done and deleting the chats won't make them completely disappear from searches, users can still take action. Start by safeguarding your chats by not sharing them until Grok has more secure privacy settings. Screenshots are another option if you must share your chats with others. As more people turn to AI tools for personal, educational, wellness and emotional support, platforms like xAI will need to step up their safeguards or risk eroding the very trust they're trying to Tom's Guide on Google News to get our up-to-date news, how-tos, and reviews in your feeds.

Tech, chip stock sell-off continues as AI bubble fears mount
Tech stocks fell for a second day on Wednesday as investors sold off a slew of tech names amid concerns over the sustainability of the AI boom and a recent market rotation away from some of this year's biggest winners. Among the Magnificent Seven Big Tech stocks, Nvidia (NVDA) was down about 0.8%, and Alphabet (GOOGL, GOOG) stock fell about 0.6%. Amazon (AMZN), Apple (AAPL), and Meta (META) shares fell over 1%. Chip stocks Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and Broadcom (AVGO) dropped more than 2%; Micron (MU) shares plummeted more than 5%. CoreWeave (CRWV), the AI data center company that rents computing power to Microsoft (MSFT) and Meta — making it essentially an AI pure play — also dropped nearly 4%. Palantir (PLTR), a defense tech stock that's seen a major upswing from the AI boom, sank nearly 2%, extending its recent losing streak. The rotation out of AI-linked stocks comes as sentiment soured this week on the market for artificial intelligence, fueled in part by a recent report from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and commentary from OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. Researchers for MIT's Project NANDA authored a report released this week that said 95% of companies it studied are getting no return on AI. The findings of the report were first detailed by Fortune on Monday. That report followed commentary from OpenAI's Altman shortly after the ChatGPT-maker finished out its latest multibillion-dollar funding round, with the CEO telling reporters that he believes there's an AI bubble, a diversion from his prior characterizations. 'When bubbles happen, smart people get overexcited about a kernel of truth,' he said. 'Are we in a phase where investors as a whole are overexcited about AI? My opinion is yes." DA Davidson analyst Gil Luria likened the changing market sentiment to a pendulum. 'This is really just pendulum swinging back,' he told Yahoo Finance on Wednesday. AI stocks have taken off in recent months after a rocky start to the year. A new, cost-effective AI model from Chinese firm DeepSeek released in January cast doubt on the massive sums of money Big Tech was spending to build out AI infrastructure to power the technology — and sent tech stocks tumbling. Two rounds of earnings updates from some of the biggest AI plays in the market and more clarity on Trump's trade policies have since quelled those fears. Investors applauded recent quarterly reports from Big Tech firms Alphabet, Meta, and Amazon, which surpassed Wall Street's expectations as the companies said AI boosted their underlying businesses. That news overrode the fact that those companies also raised their forecasts for spending on AI infrastructure. 'The AI trade was getting so expensive that all it took was some comment from Sam Altman to make the investment community take some profits off the table,' Luria said. Luria added that 'the reality is that AI still has limited applications' beyond consumers talking to AI chatbots and using the tools as a search engine. Some AI bulls, however, maintain faith in the technology's ability to fuel markets to new highs. 'We are still in the early days of the AI Revolution as the use cases are just starting to massively expand as more companies recognize the value creation being driven by a handful of tech companies led by the Godfather of AI [Nvidia CEO] Jensen [Huang] and Nvidia,' wrote Wedbush analyst Dan Ives in a note to investors Wednesday. He added that 'the tech bull cycle will be well intact at least for another 2-3 years given the trillions being spent on AI.' More will be revealed when leading AI chipmaker Nvidia reports its quarterly earnings results after the bell next week on Aug. 27. Laura Bratton is a reporter for Yahoo Finance.

Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte returns soon, when to get your PSL fix
Starbucks has announced the highly anticipated return date of the fall fan-favorite Pumpkin Spice Latte. When does Starbucks' Pumpkin Spice Latte come out? Although the fall equinox isn't until Sept. 22, the cultural phenomenon and seasonal sensation drink that first hit the Seattle-based coffee chain's menus more than 20 years ago will officially be back at Starbucks before then, on Aug. 26. Consumer interest in the seasonal spice-laden lattes has spiked earlier than ever, according to Google Trends, which showed an uptick in searches starting in mid-June vs. mid-July in 2024. New fall menu items coming to Starbucks this PSL season With the unofficial start of fall at Starbucks coffeehouses come more returning favorites and a new selection of drinks and bites. First up is a new Pecan Oatmilk Cortado, a coffee drink with a 1:1 ratio of espresso to steamed milk, amplifying another nutty fall flavor. In keeping with the high-protein food trends, Starbucks has added another option to its already popular egg bites with a new Italian sausage version. Returning alongside the PSL is the fan-favorite Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew, Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai and Pecan Crunch Oatmilk Latte. Starbucks fall flavors hit grocery stores this summer With more people tapping into the trend of Summerween, Starbucks announced its at-home line of fall products early, with K-Cup pods and Nespresso capsules already available in grocery stores. Joining the lineup this year is a new Starbucks Maple Pecan Latte-inspired nondairy creamer. The Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte-inspired creamer is also back in both dairy and non-dairy options. At-home coffee fans can also snag Starbucks' Fall Blend or Smoked Butterscotch Flavored Coffee, available in K-Cup Pods and roast and ground varieties, and Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Flavored Coffee, which is also available as Nespresso for Vertuo capsules. Starbucks' ready-to-drink beverages -- including the Pumpkin Spice Flavored Coffee, available in RTD Iced Espresso and RTD Frappuccino Chilled Coffee Drink -- are available as well.
