INTEREST: Game Developer COLOPL Offers Monetary Awards to Staff Who Use ChatGPT for Work

A company that got sued for copyright infringement is all in on AI? What a surprise! Seriously though this is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Anyone who is in tech knows how gpt and every other LLM currently available make shit up all the time, which makes them unusable to use as a replacement for anything technical. Unless they fundamentally change how the training process is done (ie linking sources for acquired 'knowledge', the ability to differentiate fact from fiction, etc.), that cannot be solved no matter how many years progress. It can certainly help write HR letters, or generic emails, but depending on it for coding, scripting, or anything that requires technical knowledge is a recipe for disaster. Can't wait for something to break during their game development, and no one can troubleshoot what the problem is because they have 100,000 lines of gpt code lol.

I don't see this as being much different than other software tools. There are a lot of AI/ML applications that make training and deploying models faster and easier, and I've seen clueless people convince themselves their hot garbage is useful because the app created something for them. However, people creating harmful garbage with it doesn't mean the app is bad. It means you should can the idiots who don't know what they're doing.

You shouldn't rely on ChatGPT to code your whole app, but you shouldn't rely on a bunch of zero experience developers either. ChatGPT isn't going to replace your SMEs, and I don't think that is what this company is necessarily aiming to do. What they're probably aiming for is to replace some of the entry level positions because using ChatGPT is way cheaper and faster than training some new college grad. You're going to want to review the code produced by either rather than blindly accepting it.

in preparation for an AI-driven society.

Never forget that anything you share with ChatGPT is retained and used to further train the model. Multiple employees of Samsung's Korea-based semiconductor business plugged lines of confidential code into ChatGPT, effectively leaking corporate secrets that could be included in the chatbot's future responses to other people around the world.

The OpenAI user guide warns users against this behavior: "We are not able to delete specific prompts from your history. Please don't share any sensitive information in your conversations."

Samsung had allowed its engineers at the semiconductor division to use ChatGPT to help fix problems with source code.

In one of the accidents, an employee used the AI chatbot to optimize test sequences for identifying faults in chips that are highly confidential to companies. The employee copied the source code of a semiconductor database download program, entered it into ChatGPT, and inquired about errors.

In a separate case, an employee shared confidential code to try and find a fix for defective equipment.

In another case, an employee used ChatGPT to convert internal meeting notes into a presentation. These notes carried sensitive information that is not supposed to be shared with third parties.

To avoid making such mistakes in the future, Samsung Semiconductor is reportedly working on its own AI for the internal use of employees.

You might expect Samsung to ban ChatGPT right away after the leaks, but that’s not what happened. Instead, Samsung sought to educate its employees on the privacy risks of AI, telling them that whatever you tell ChatGPT, will end up on OpenAI’s external servers. That means once you spill the beans, there’s no going back — no way to retrieve this data. Samsung has also put a cap on how much data each employee can upload to ChatGPT, and warned that if anyone lets something slip again, it will pull the plug on ChatGPT’s use for good.

Samsung is not the first, but only the latest victim of its employees’ penchant to discuss sensitive matters with OpenAI’s chatbot. Other firms are learning the ropes on the go as well.

The leak is a real-world example of hypothetical scenarios privacy experts have been concerned about. Other scenarios include sharing confidential legal documents or medical information for the purpose of summarizing or analyzing lengthy text, which might then be used to improve the model. Experts warn that it may violate GDPR compliance, which is why Italy recently banned ChatGPT.
