This is how I use chatgpt. “Write me an email explaining to stakeholders that we have x” and then I mention as much detail and whatever it spits out I tweak and go from there. I have been told I write amazing emails but my problem is I spend a lot of time thinking my email over way too much, so I like to see how condensed chatgpt gives me of a template so I can reuse it. I often take a five paragraph email and conden…

I would honestely have doubts giving an unvetted third party, openai through ChatGPT, access to any prorietery or business relevant information.

I have done this, but I fill sensitive information with bullshit terms.

I have just uploaded the results for my analysis of . Some things to keep in mind. There was a request to highlight terms associated with . I have done so, please see the sections titled ....

Obviously, one can still worry that I may not have "redacted" enough information and that I'm still revealing sensitive information, but I'm comfortable with my ability to determine what's sensitive and what's not.

Agreed. One could however use a nonconfidential placeholder for the sensitive information and then replace it with the real information while revising the ChatGPT output.

Even that isn’t enough since even if you use codenames there will be still enough complementary information to fill the gaps especially if OpenAI knows who you are and if you are coming out of a corporate network they probably have enough information based on your internet connection alone. So say you work for PharmaCorp and you are developing a new drug even if you turn the name of the drug into a code name and you…

Isn’t this the case for all web services as well? Google doc, office 365, aws, Google cloud

Yeah I've seen a lot of people who seem to believe that the prompts they give ChatGPT aren't being cataloged and saved when they certainly are. It sends every prompt you give it to a server, by design it has to as the model is far too computationally expensive to run locally.

Are you sure there are a lot of people who believe that? The UI literally saves the prompts on the left side.

Depending on the industry and company this may be illegal and grounds for dismissal.

Assuming MS isn't conducting corporate espionage in their customers, I'd say no, not the same thing.

Well, there are enough people using it for work. So at the very least, they don't care about potentially leaking confidential information.

If a person uses Windows, Microsoft already has access to any information which was ever typed on this computer. Nobody cares about it, despite the fact that it's known that Windows can literally send keystrokes as telemetry data to its home. Why ChatGPT would be different? You either trust that corporations don't abuse their power or you don't engage in any IT.

It’s able to translate dead languages reasonably well, too. I asked it to translate various text into Pali and it did a good job, and did a reasonable job providing the text of various Buddhist sutta and decent translations into English.

My wife speaks Bemba - a fairly common language in South-central Africa. I just asked it to translate a sentence to Bemba and it failed miserably. What it put out wasn't even Bemba, she didn't know what language it was.

I guess is it common on the internet? Pali is widely translated and referred to and available (in the Buddhist canon, the original Buddhist teaches were first written in Pali and so it’s widely studied ala Latin). I was impressed but not surprised it was able to do it.

If a company uses MS or any other aoftware, they have all.konda of liscense agreements and conyracts with those software providers. If an individual employee decides to use ChatGPT to write a report, the comoany does not have any of those in place with openai. That is a major difference.
