My company uses it to parse terms and conditions documents into structured JSON. It's saved us from hiring another person to go through these documents which is a massive benefit for a small company

#52I don't use it, it returns mostly incorrect code that makes me realize it's not worth it. I'm more productive and write better code ignoring ChatGPT 95% of the time.
my comment will probably get flagged or downvoted or whatever, but yeah agreed.
I literally cannot understand how people code that need gpt as an assistant for writing code. If I can reason about it, I can write it faster then the feedback loop takes for prompting.

I agree with your experience, and am curious as to what the difference between the two scenarios is.

#54We are using it for summaries, newsletter research, website copy
, product research and more.
Mostly using for content generation.

#55Not allowed, because the privacy is non-existant, the licensing is questionable, Microsoft sees everything, and the responses are often wrong and require more work to verify. The risks are greater than the reward.
> Microsoft sees everything
Are you using Windows or Microsoft Office? Same here. Or Microsoft Exchange?

It's for new things: new languages, frameworks, libraries. When you're not fluent, it can be a helpful hand for a beginner, or someone who has to do a lot things that they are not expert in, like a one man band in a sole enterprise or corner of a startup.
It can increase efficiency for generalists. For deep work, it's less useful.

The use case where it's really good is boilerplate code that you may not remember. For example, I haven't written React code for years now. I know what good React code looks like when I see it because I've worked with it before, but I wouldn't be able to implement something from scratch without googling or copying stuff from Github. I just don't remember the libraries and best practices off the top of my head.
When I ask ChatGPT to do it for me it gives me an excellent starting point. Sure, there will be bugs, but because I know what I want I can spot and fix them immediately. It's much faster to adjust ChatGPT's code than it is to Google around for starting points.
Another example are shell scripts. I only touch bash once every few months and I keep forgetting the syntax for certain operations. Asking ChatGPT to give me a starting point is much faster than googling and visiting 20 StackOverflow posts for what I want.
But I agree with you that for day-to-day work on the same codebase where you have all the context, ChatGPT usually isn't worth it.

#59we built our own AI chat, it’s not that hard. It’s wired up to our internal data, with nlp search, and a few tools using swagger.
Sounds like a fun project. Are you following some existing documentation? Curious to know about the process. Must have good compute power.

#60I’m a company of one, and I use it every day, multiple times a day as a coding assistant. I’m using the excellent Code Genie (sp?) plug-in to VSC which puts a chat window directly in VSC and does cool things like allow you to highlight blocks of code and ask contextual questions / refactors / bug checks, etc. I would say my efficiency is up ~20% since starting to use it, and my Google searches & StackOverflow visits…
Just curious how the data flow works. Are you sending information to both places, CGenie and OpenAI? Full disclosure, I have never used CGenie. I know you can turn off data collection at OpenAI, can you do the same with them?
