Confirmed. ChatGPT is actively indexing the Fediverse, even small servers like mine who have not explicitly consented to their indexing.

So while people on Mastodon got angry about Mastodon having built-in discovery features, ChatGPT just went ahead and slurped up all your posts.

A lot of people are missing the point.

Yes, you can opt out of ChatGPT indexing your Fediverse post. You can even do a DMCA.

But Fediverse folks believe search should be based on opt-in consent—and ChatGPT essentially just said, “Get bent!”

ChatGPT doesn’t care about your ideals.
