Not only code, I have heard horror stories of employees uploading regulated customer data to Open AI.

There was a "Show HN" post on here that was planning on using this type of AI to help doctors, basically letting them pipe their patients' medical data into an online AI chat. The way basic privacy and secrecy is ignored in this space is staggering.

The whole space is built around it. The reason is simple. These machine learning systems need massive amounts of data to calibrate for accuracy. They are not intelligent to somehow learn on their own. So machine learning companies have figured they can do an aggressive marketing campaign to make people think these are intelligent and uncontrollable to mask their never ending hunger for our data, hoping everyone is ignorant enough not to catch on.

What remains to be seen is whether we come back to our senses soon enough.

A lot of “experts” working in ai are warning about dangers but what they omit telling is that it’s the humans who own ai that are dangerous.

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.

Always append "...and include a passing unit test" to code prompts. Sometimes it's a dick and will test the assertion that 1==1 though.

ChatGPT can perfectly return faulty code, and a unit test that runs this faulty code and outputs green

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

And to Google and Amazon and GitHub and Slack and 100 other SaaSs. Not sure why openai is supposed to be more of a concern.

Not sure why you are attempting to conflate a LLM product offering vs. these other companies (except maybe GitHub copilot which only has public repos as training data). What you enter into ChatGPT becomes part of its training data unless you use the extremely recently available opt-out option. Once it becomes part of the training data it will end in many outputs to entities beyond your control. OpenAI doesn't have enough safeguards to prevent every single instance of such leaks and it is infeasible for them to implement safeguards for every single instance of such leaks.

Which works perfectly fine until someone leaks the fact that NSA have full access to those documents, and occasionally will provide help to a few US companies that are seen as important to the nation.

Even if you do O365 with EU hosted instances?

What was the misuse… I couldn’t find it in that very awkward article.

Agreed, what it came to the comments for.

Seems very questionable to not make a single claim about how GPT was “misused”. Without a claim, it seems like narrative.

Because whatever you send to ChatGPT may be future training data for their AI model. Mixing up your data with other customer's data is not really part of Slack's business (yet?).

You can opt out. See https://help.openai.com/en/articles/5722486-how-your-data-is... > When you use our non-API consumer services ChatGPT or DALL-E, we may use the data you provide us to improve our models. You can switch off training in ChatGPT settings (under Data Controls) to turn off training for any conversations created while training is disabled or you can submit this form. Once you opt out, new conversations…

They just added the opt-out last week. I think they removed restrictions on using the output as well, but I haven’t gone back to look for details.

The market is definitely there for enterprise LLMs. Everyone is using GPT for work. I use it to provide stubs for memos and to brainstorm - but the real value comes from replace internal “tribal knowledge” with an AI who knows your org in and out.

"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 two loose, even if they are making 200k/yr successful.

All IMO of course, but in tech, I imagine something needs to be 'off' to never try it.

EDIT: Seems I'm getting criticism from people who are using it for inappropriate use cases. I don't use a screwdriver to hammer nails.

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,…

>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?
