Is AI answer in Google safe?

Clean risk

AI answer in Google sends your search query to ChatGPT when you ask its embedded assistant for an answer.

When you use the embedded assistant on a search results page, the extension reads the current search query and uses it as the prompt. It sends that prompt to ChatGPT's conversation API through your logged-in ChatGPT session, including your ChatGPT cookies and bearer token for the request.
