Source on Microsoft employees seeing everything I write in "Microsoft Office"? Not 365, but local docx

It is in fact Office 365 but the local application, not the cloud software, where you type into the browser.

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.

I always wanted to do this very specific in Django. I don't work with Python,so even though I knew what I want to do,but my skills weren't there to create working code. So I thought I'll throw the problem at chatGPT. The generated code had a couple of flaws, but I managed to fix them in 15 min or so and got a working result. The code also gave me some interesting perspective on how some things could be implemented.

We are a small team and those are just my use cases:

- Debugging - I just throw 100s of lines of logs and it's pretty good at figuring out what needs to be done

- Landing page copy generation and iterations on that copy

- Summarizing papers

- Extracting insights from user feedback

- Improving emails, fixing grammar

I've particularly enjoyed saving loads of time by having it convert API responses to typescript classes.

And once I was done, asking it to write up some functions for the way they interact worked out very well.

In general, I've made a habit of asking it coding questions (usually how to do something in a complicated framework) before bothering teammates. Probably about 80% success rate.

A few directors have sent emails lettings folks know it's ok to experiment with as long as they dont send passwords or PII. I had it draft a thorny recursive SQL query for me one time (which I did write some extensive automated tests to validate)

Your directors are more creative than mine. Our CyberSecurity had ChatGPT non functional within days of it being released publicly. Apparently it's too much of a risk, or some nonsense.

I understand the frustration but I have sympathy for your security team. As a former security engineer you'd be shocked at the nonsense I had to clean up from our devs.

You mean your company blocks it, or has OpenAI black listed particular VPNs?

OpenAI blocks all VPNs. Some get through regardless, those seem to be the exception.

The list of those that successfully connect is very interesting information.

Debugging - I just throw 100s of lines of logs and it's pretty good at figuring out what needs to be done ... Summarizing papers

How does that work, given the small context window size? I've tried dumping a lot of text into the ChatGPT window and it just ignores most of it, or complains about the input being too long.
