My boss pays for it! I don't use it that much, but it's pretty useful from time to time instead of going through a bunch of unrelated Google results.

I tried it once or twice and it worked well. It's too stupid now to be worth the attempt. The amount of time spent fixing its mistakes has resulted in net zero time savings.

I've used it a couple times to draft reports, most of what it writes is pretty garbage but it's good for generating general filter sentences and structure and stuff that I don't want to waste the time thinking about.

I've also used it to generate Facebook posts, it's awesome at this however recently I've had to make a point to telling it not to include emojis or the posts get overloaded

I dont see any reason to not use it to (keyword) help with your work. I think it would be wise to not use its responses verbatim, as well as to fact-check anything that it gives you. Additionally, turn off chat history and do not enter any details about yourself, or your employer, into the prompts. Keep things generic whenever you can.

I don't have much use for confident-sounding nonsense.

Proudly told my coworker about experiment with LLM to help with documentation we're pretty close from what we would need. I don't have yet the paygrade to do my own experiment on my work time but I am close enough to be able to start experimenting on my work time and tell my boss you see this is why I desserve that paygrade

Definately. ChatGPT for coding help, and learning new coding topics. And Gamma for presentations - if only for the nice formatting of content and stock imagery.

I suffer from the curse of the blank page, so getting something on the page to edit and expand is a lifesaver for me. It is also useful to adjust tone, and do simple things like document functions. Easy to correct if wrong.

I absolutely kept it from my boss. The she told me in a 1:1 how extensively she uses it. I was like, hey I can help! Definitely haven’t told my VP though. Also then they blocked it, so I have to either use it in my iPad, or stick to Bard and BingAI on the laptop.

I use it as a software Developer but I’m not hiding it from my boss.

Mainly I use it generate me mock data, but also for helping me understand code blocks or if I want to sort some complex data and my head is baffled.

People seem to miss the point in that if I don’t understand software development then ChatGPT is of little help. With the sorting of data, it can give me 90% complete solutions but you have to know what you’re doing to debug it.

As a manager, it does a great job of writing a bunch of ideas around a subject I need to explain that is not proprietary info. Turned writing a proposal that would have taken me hours to layout and format into just a few seconds with mere minutes tweaking to get just right.

I've used it for writing job descriptions. The final output is different after I've tweaked it but it's much easier than starting with a blank page.

Yeah I use it, but only as a rubber duckie. I never put in code unless I understand what it's doing, and most of the time I'm just using it as a sounding board. Since it never returns the right code on the first try anyways haha

I run a board game store, so just for a chuckle I asked it about what's popular this year or what to order and kept getting the same answer about only having accurate data from 2021 and prior.

I tell everyone! I suggest my coworkers and bosses to do the same.

Why I should keep it as secret?

I work in sales. Cat-I-Farted is about as smooth and persuasive as a middleschooler.

I use it and encourage my staff and other departments to use it.

I feel that we're at a horse vs tractor or human computer vs digital computer event. In the next 10+ years those who are AI ignorant will be under employed or unemployed. Get it now and learn to use it as a force multiplier just like tractors and digital computers were.

The arguments against AI eerily mirror the arguments against tractors and digital computers.

I’m a family doctor, so I haven’t yet. It’s not a validated tool to source medical information, and I can’t paste any patient identifiers into it, so even if I wanted its input it’s way faster to just use my standard medical resources.

Our EMR plans to do some testing later this year for generative AI in areas that don’t have to be medically validated like notes to patients. I will likely sign up to pilot it if that option is offered.

I use it for D&D, though, along with a mixture of other tools, random generators, and my own homebrew. My players are aware of this.
