I don’t see why, least my understanding, you hit share chat, it creates a public link… google’s robots discover everything public and index it. Seems to me like the same problem would happen if you generated a link to share on any platform, and burned it and never sent information to any platform. Unless googles indexing all whatsapp messages, but that would be a much bigger story.
Anyway point is blame IMO falls on either chatgpt for not properly configuring a robots.txt, or google for not following it.
Y’all need to read the 5 minute article. It was a short lived feature where they had a checkbox that said: “index my chat into search engines”. Which is honestly dumb as shit if you ask me.
sounds to me just like googles bots are finding them… could also just be maybe chrome or similar taking note when it finds a page and dropping a dime to google.
Google’s search bots shouldn’t find chats except through dumb luck.
Because without the GUID, it’s nearly impossible to find any shared chats at all.
That’s just how GUIDs work

How does it discover the link though? Is it crawling your whatsapp chats, or just trying every possible chatgpt share link?

I don’t know what the deal is, just that the article specifically names What’s App.
