CEO's obsession with ChatGPT is hitting critical mass. We got 10 company-wide emails last Sunday as he asked it to do competitor analysis and then copy and pasted the results into an email saying how amazing it was and making snide comments about how it only took him 5 minutes and when he asks marketing to do it it takes weeks. Never mind the fact that each email which covered each competitor was pretty much identical with only the bullet points in a different order and some different wording. He's clearly not reading the generated slop and just forwarding it on as "something to ponder."
This week we've come in to an email saying that he fully expects everyone in the office to spend half an hour every morning talking to it and asking it how we can make our jobs more productive. He's previously sent out examples of how marketing can do it so now he expects product, customer support and engineering to do the same.
"Hey ChatGPT, can you tell me why when this customer exports a 13,000 line table to PDF on pages 300-303 the spacing gets a bit messed up and the text is clipped slightly? Here's our codebase for reference"
The one about the fucking space hairdresser and the cowboy. He's got a tinfoil pal and a pedal bin
Zonugal have you ever given thought to teaching abroad? Not necessarily as an English as foreign language thing, though I suppose that could be an option.
I am reaching out because your manager provided you as a person to participate in some testing for WEB APPLICATION. We are testing Artificial Intelligence within our WEB APPLICATION cases and want to validate the accuracy of the summaries provided, etc.
I do not respect robots. I will kick a roomba. I want to shoot an Alexa with a high powered rifle.
Wait, no, hold on. Alexa is fair game, but c'mon. Roomba is barely sentient. It just scoots around bonking into things and sucking up dust; it's like one of those crustaceans that goes doodling around on the sea-floor picking up all the detritus other fish leave lying around. It's hating something that's just doing its level best to help.
My favorite musical instrument is the air-raid siren.

Does he realize that when you put data into chatgpt you lose control to that data? I wonder what confidential information your competitors can now easily access now that it's on the chatgpt database.
I'm now imagining HR doing annual review shit through chatgpt and just uploading employee records.

Depends on your agreement. You can get enterprise agreements that don't put your data into the training set.

Not in the cheap training set they let ordinary people use, that is.
Blake... I'll keep saying it, but I don't know how to fix a washing machine!!
I know how to fix one when the washing machine's main bearing went and seeing what it took to fix as well as getting the new part my brother said it is time to let it die
Mule'd it down to the park and left it {it is the tres chic thing to leave furniture and appliances at the parking lot at the park they are usually gone by first light
Sadly because of funds and the mega bill I bought and Apt washer {the one you hook up to a sink and run} being only 5 gallons it can only do small loads
I am locked like Zonugal as I have a house {I got it as as estate from my father...} If it was not for that I would have fled into the night than put up with all the BS from the hell known to men. THe problem I have now is where?

If you inherited the house, then couldn't you just sell it and move? Or rent it out and move? Since you own it outright you're not saddled with debt payments, right?
I forgot how much I hate Excel. I need to import a CSV file into our library software to order stuff, but ISBNs get rendered in scientific notation because they're long. I've tried saving the column after formatting it as number. As soon as I open the file back up it goes into notation. @Jedoc@Librarian's ghost do either of you have to deal with this nonsense?

If you put an apostrophe before a number or a date, it will return the original entry. So if you entered
5-1
and Excel kept turning it into May 1, you instead type
'5-1
and Excel will show
5-1
So a crappy but fast way of doing this would be to do your normal data cleaning, and write a new column and literally make it say
="'"&A1
Then paste that new column as the data and it should stick. It may not work or kill your formatting, but it's fast to just try
I'm scared to post this because I'll curse myself, but the only thing I have had to do today is work on a little tariff background education sheet for next week.
It's as exciting as it sounds.
I'm boooorwd!

You got a solution but in Excel I always just format those columns as text and then it doesn't do the notation or decimals.

Speaking of excel, I was modifying my cool library sign-in system and noticed that the visual basic code that adds the time stamp automatically puts the time into the column using a 24 hours clock but when I click on that cell, the, whatever you call that box above the columns next to the function*, that box shows the same time in 12 hour.
I could try to figure out how to fix that but fuck it. I'm not going to risk breaking anything.

Excel displays the date/time in the format that your computer is set to, so if you have your dates set to dd/mm/yyyy in your system settings that's how Excel will display it by default, I am pretty sure it works for time as well, so your computer may be set to use the 24 hour clock.

Fuck we're facing that next week. They're all trying to get us to participate in team building exercises and whatnot and trumpeted how they've allocated extra budget this year for "connecting remote teams together" and it's all so performative I could puke. Either give us more money, gift cards or vouchers to something like Uber eats so we can get a (mostly) free lunch or something. I don't think anyone is going to want to play online jeopardy through Teams or some such nonsense.

I'm so glad everything I work with is governed by international trade compliance laws so if anyone asked chatgpt anything related to itc controlled data they would get fired basically instantly.
it is very ironic to trust the industry built on stealing copyrighted and just original works in general to stick to an agreement
Eh, the risk side of it won't pay out as these are monied companies with competent legal teams and funding. Better to upsell them on custom models and make them pay you to incorporate it.

We've got some kind of corporate account with OpenAI so apparently anything we upload doesn't get incorporated into the wider model but as has been said - this is a model built by plagiarising the entire internet so I trust that claim about as far as I can throw it.
Meanwhile he fed it our entire company confluence wiki and tried to get it to summarise how we get a new API connected to our data lake, then sent the instructions to the head of engineering who very diplomatically said "that's interesting." He's not happy with long it takes the connectors team to get a new connection up and running and thinks it's something we can farm out to AI.

@Tef, when I was younger I did, for sure.
But I have a mortgage, so I'm pretty locked into where I live now.
