Companies banning the use of ChatGPT level tools going forward will find the rules either flouted, subverted or the employees going elsewhere. Of course there is a duty on employees to be professional - the latter will be the ones taking up opportunities at non-legacy/dinosaur corporations that think they can command the waves. The answer is to sort your processes, security and training out - new AI is here to stay,…

Do you think regular employees care all that much about ChatGPT? It's a cute toy. If my employer says not to use it for work data, that's just not a big deal for me.

Companies banning the use of ChatGPT level tools going forward will find the rules either flouted, subverted or the employees going elsewhere. Why? Companies typically have many rules that they expect employees to follow. Why would employees disregard these particular rules, or even quit because of them?

Just imagine companies would not allow people to use internet search engines for their daily work.

Sure, but those are actually useful.

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?

I have seen companies have rules about (or against) cloud computing in general. I remember when decent web-based translation services first came out, and the guidance from BigCorp was to not use them for anything work-related. From what I personally have seen, this sort of guidance remains. When companies do use things like Google Docs or Microsoft Office365, they likely have some specific contract in place with Goog…

This is already in the works. Microsoft offers an Azure GPT4 service for business. They already offer a business version of CoPilot as well. I have not gone over the details but I imagine the usual business and support agreements will be in place for the business tiers.

They actually can. But not every business is competent. It is completely irresponsible to query public services with internal company intellectual property or any type of information that may breach your contract that you signed with a responsible and competent business. It is trivial to track you do on business equipment and if you think you're smart by subverting that by querying public methods through other means, that can and will be solve soon. Someone is going to make a lot of money deploying an AI system that can retroactively track these things and when that happens, for better or worse, hope you were not irresponsible and worked for a business with the technical acumen to trace you. It's not a matter of if it can be done, with today's tech. It's a matter of whether the business you worked for has the means and willpower to do it.

My advice is follow best practice and wait for an official company policy detailing the use of these new services. Otherwise you may find yourself in legal trouble years from now when the traces you left can easily be uncovered by technology that does not forget.

All these arguments about how it can be wrong are literally identical to the arguments I heard from ignorant people between 2001-2008 on why search engines were unsafe because Google could return wrong answers or steal your data. IMO the only people crapping on AI either don’t know how to prompt it correctly, aren’t very creative, or frankly weren’t doing that much work in the first place and feel threatened by it. I…

Do you have any tips on how to prompt it right? How do I tell it to write code when it isn’t aware of custom internal classes and APIs?

Edit: my comment might seem out of place now, but the comment I was replying to originally had this paragraph:

> I write a lot of code with it and it’s extraordinarily, obviously clear that when prompted right, it increases productivity 2-5x. My company recently banned it and it has been excruciating. Like going back to coding before StackOverflow and Google existed.

I would still appreciate any tips in this regards

"Everyone" is exaggeration at best.

It kind of boggles my mind that there are people who arent using LLMs yet. Sure its not everyone, but the people who arent using them are signaling a major red flag IMO. They are resistant to change, even if they don't understand the technology, what else are they resisting from their managers/leadership team? Further, I think of the people in my life who have refused to even try it, they all seem to have a screw or…

I think people have different jobs and different skill levels. For some it gives them a boost for others it slows them down. Translating what you want exactly into english is a different way of producing something for many. Some people are really smart and they don't need a calculator. No shame in using a calculator that mostly works.

Perhaps the fact that I work exclusively on the front-end is why I also derive tremendous value from GPT-4, and I have been perplexed by others saying they find no value in GPT-4 for coding. There is so much boilerplate BS that GPT-4 just nails down and lets me move on to bigger things. Just yesterday, I needed to mock up a quick prototype for a new feature we're developing. I just paste in my existing React componen…

boilerplate is a sign of shitty abstractions and libraries and generating boilerplate is the road to madness

What can I say? It's a dirty job. :)

Nobody cares about ChatGPT where I work. Nobody is going to quit.

The only use for AI is for writing code and the company created a policy around that.
