Google Docs has a “anyone with a link” sharing option. I would not expect setting that and texting my friend the link to result in the document contents being indexed for searches.
I have to admit I was wrong - a shit-load of google docs are also visible on search. I wasn’t aware it works this way. That’s really bad. I found so many people’s resumes!
No, this is basic internet stuff, all of those generated links must be in some public forum/site, that google can crawl. Google doesn’t randomly start guessing URL, there must be public link path in some site for Google to find.
If you generate link in any app, and share it on public site, it will be indexed by bots.
That’s not how Google’s crawlers or search indexing work. If you configure your site properly, you won’t have this problem Anthropic’s had. This is an amateur move by Anthropic
If you post it on the Internet, everyone has it. Especially companies like Google who scrape the entire Internet.
Does it say they posted it on the Internet?

Does it need to? That’s how Google works.

That’s actually not how Google works. This was Anthropics screwup

Just because you were smart enough to not trust Google doesn’t mean their dishonest practices aren’t newsworthy…
