The issue, which appears to have been first flagged by a redditor, exposed chats that included people asking for advice about what political party they should join, whether attorneys in Kansas are required to self-report when they believe they’ve committed an ethical violation, and erotic role play. Claude allows users to share with other people “snapshots” of chats by creating a public URL to a specific chatbot thread.
