How many of you are using ChatGpt to help you with your work, and not telling your boss/co-workers? (aussie.zone)

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!

There was some issue that came up relating to network shares on a Windows domain that didn't make sense to me and a colleague. I asked GPT to describe why we were seeing whatever behavior and it defined the scope of the feature in a way that completely demystified my coworker. I'm a Mac and Linux guy, so while I could loosely grasp it, it was gone from my mind shortly after. Windows domains and file sharing has always been bizarre to me.

Anyway, we didn't hide it. He gave it credit when explaining the answer to the rest of the team in a meeting. This was around the end of last year. The company since had layoffs and I'm looking for a new job, but I did have it reformat my resume and it did a great job. I've never been great at page-layout stuff, as I'm a plain text warrior.

You can have ChatGPT edit a pdf input? I thought it only took plaintext. This sounds super helpful.

More like it took blocks of text and formatted them as bullet points and cleaned up muddled presentation. Sorry for not being clearer.
