Just out of curiosity. I have no moral stance on it, if a tool works for you I'm definitely not judging anyone for using it. Do whatever you can to get your work done!

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 absolutely kept it from my boss. The she told me how in a 1:1 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.

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

Why I should keep it as secret?

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

It's great at directing and narrowing your search, and when it knows, it does a great job. Problem is when it doesn't know it just makes shit up. I was using it earlier today to debug some error messages and it just came up with some non existent cli parameters. You still need to know what you're doing and test everything first.

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 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.

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

Used in small doses to generate text with some degree of precision is helpful. I do find it to be a good way to cut out boring email writing. But I would recommend it more as a text generation tool than a fact generation tool. With the right expectations and work flow it fits right in. And no I don't consider it plagiarism if the client's demand is boring.

[–] kaput@jlai.lu 1 points 2 years ago

I've used it in a few occasions, mostly to find better terms and adjusting the tone for my emails. Also finding what acronym stands for and understanding technical issues. Asking to explain like I'm a 5 yo or beginner saved me some time from doing long researches on google.

[–] AnalogyAddict@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

We openly use it to generate placeholder text. No hiding necessary.
