>employees going elsewhere That's strange to me. I'm employed in order to receive a paycheck. If receiving my paycheck is contingent on me not using ChatGPT, then so be it, what do I care?

Depends. If suddenly my company said I was going to work on some deadend legacy crap for the next 5 years, I'm going to nope out ASAP.

If you get fired/quit and any other job you're looking at is going to have you interacting with new languages or AI workflows or something like that you have to assess what value you're losing by working for that company and the risks associated with it.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Some even upload all their conversations and confidential internal documents to Microsoft 365!

Some people upload their entire private lives, personal and family photos to iCloud. Several celebrities were target of iCloud leaks and their nudes ended up into 'the fappening'. Microsoft so far hasn't been hacked.

LOL, wut

The same way you would recognize if Google was selling your GSuite data or Msft was selling your Office data.

This would be exact quotes, in an LLM model this harder to recognize. You can hardly see from the pictures AI if your picture is part of the model.

So what you're saying is if you use any cloud provider they could be training their AI with your data and you'll never know...

I'm not suggesting the concerns aren't valid, but I guess I don't understand why this same principal isn't applied to other internet connected / cloud software? Do these companies worry that web browsers like Chrome could leak data or applications like Google Docs? What is it about an AI chat bots that makes the risk of a data leak so much higher? Is something about OpenAI's ToS? Or it's relative infancy?

Do you remember key locks on floppy drives, while leaving the USB ports open?

This is the same thing.

I see a distinction between several kinds of companies:

Competent companies are asking employees to be more productive and are training them with AI.

Less competent companies are restricting use of AI.

Why? It’s a valid concern in my opinion. You’re feeding OpenAI your intellectual property and just hoping they don’t do anything with it. I have the same concerns with Microsoft’s TypeScript playground

Yes, 20 lines of transforming jsons from one form to another are exactly what OpenAI employees are looking for in all the data they're gathering. How will my company survive after they get their hands on this?

If you think people are just hyping ChatGPT because its new without further reflection, you have stunningly missed the moment and have a rude awakening coming.

As of now, these chatbots still make some subtle, egregious errors in code that could easily create more bugs than handwriting if you don't thoroughly audit the output. It's wise to ban them until they improve or naive users get more instruction how to use them properly. And from experience with some Samsung products, they could do with tightening up their code QA standards a bit.

As the joke goes, senior devs copy code from answers on Stack overflow. Junior devs from questions. It is always better to educate people. ChatGPT needs to be treated as Wikipedia.

Staff engineers copy code from that one surly guy’s comment on the question.

Or the company will pay for a similar tool that doesn't share the data externally.

There is no similarly capable tool available presently.

I agree that when it becomes an option, hosted or securely tunable solutions will be preferred in some cost/risk calculations.
