It just feels too good to be true.
I’m currently using it for formatting technical texts and it’s amazing. It doesn’t generate them properly. But if I give it the bulk of the info it makes it pretty af.
Also just talking and asking for advice in the most random kinds of issues. It gives seriously good advice. But it makes me worry about whether I’m volunteering my personal problems and innermost thoughts to a company that will misuse that.
Are these concerns valid?
You might already be aware, but there have been instances of information leaks in the past. Even major tech companies restrict their employees from using such tools due to worries about leaks of confidential information.
If you’re worried about your personal info, it’s a good idea to consistently clear your chat history.
Another big thing is AI hallucination. When you inquire about topics it doesn’t know much about, it can confidently generate fictional information. So, you’ll need to verify the points it presents. This even occurs when you ask it to summarize an article. Sometimes, it might include information that doesn’t come from the original source.
I was not aware there have been leaks. Thank you. And oh yeah. I always verify the technical stuff I tell it to write. It just makes.it.look professional in ways that would take me hours.
My experience asking for new info from it has been bad. I don’t really do it anymore. But honestly. It’s not needed at all.

The issue would be if you’re feeding your employer’s intellectual property into the system. Someone then asking ChatGPT for a solution to a similar problem might then be given those company secrets. Samsung had a big problem with people in their semiconductor division using it to automate their work, and have since banned it on company devices.
