Ask HN: Should We Embrace OpenAI/ChatGPT for Everything?

Over the past 12 months, OpenAI has made me a 10x engineer; I can do tasks 10x faster than I would before. With that being said, this is a terrifying behavior meaning that previously I could have hired nine other people (realistically one or two) to do what OpenAI helped me do at the same speed; this brings me to my next point.

Should you give OpenAI access to data that one or two employees would have gotten to perform their tasks? Am I potentially helping train the AI to destroy my company in the future? Or should I build my models using our large dataset and some data from OpenAI?

Extra context: some data could include tracked customer behaviors, past resolutions, and results.

"some data could include tracked customer behaviors"

Please let us know what the name of your company is

Are you planning to tell your (soon to be former) customers you intend to track them?

A lot of these decisions come down to trust. Sounds like you have some doubts about whether to trust OpenAI.

Can you give some context it how it made you 10x engineer? I'd also like to be one!
