   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.

         not as bad since the blast radius is only your chat vs. knowing your password exposes all your data.

         however - agree that this is not great - espeically if chat TTL is long. someone who gets your URL can read everything you're asking (eg. by sniffing your network/accessing your browser history)
