A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

As someone who is not anti-tool just because big companies and capitalism are misusing said tool (that's a 'big companies' and 'capitalism' issue that applies to far more than LLMs), this seems like a non-starter for any business use of the platform.
Enterprise tools definitely have an expectation of 1) not having ads placed in them, and 2) not having their users tracked for third-party data sale, not because they love their employees, but because they're scared one could infer proprietary business information via user metadata correlation. No company wants their new product to be "blown" early because their devs' internet activity was aggregated and the product inferred, or worse to have a competitor get the jump on them because of it. Most companies begrudgingly accept use of e.g. Google, but corporate policies will absolutely limit the kind of information you can put in a Google search. ChatGPT is just by its nature much more likely to end up getting proprietary data put in (because it's a 'conversation').
The "promise" that OpenAI will only use said data to target ads is laughable, even if OpenAI believes it.
