   My least favorite trend I’ve noticed with so many AI chat services is they seem to equate a UUID in the url with privacy.

   Perplexity does this. Visiting a past perplexity search url exposes your full conversation.

      Isn't that equivalent to a password? Knowing my password exposes my full data.

         You don't store your password in the URL.

            I store my session token in a cookie, which is even worse because it's sent with every request.

               Not in a URL generally, and if it is the only people who can see the full URL are the receiver and the sender if HTTPS is properly enabled.
