Hey everyone! I'm a bit worried about something going on at my workplace. A few colleagues have been uploading parts of a confidential report to ChatGPT for editing suggestions, and I'm hearing that others on the team are doing the same. I'm really concerned about how safe this practice is. Is ChatGPT storing these questions as training data? Could anyone at OpenAI potentially access this stored data? What if hackers get involved? Also, how secure is the connection to ChatGPT? Is there a risk of a third party intercepting our conversations? I know this might sound overly cautious, but our company has legitimate reasons to be concerned about digital security.

If you have controls like the option to turn off sharing, that might help. But even then, you should really avoid feeding it any sensitive details. Play it safe!
Sounds like your workplace really needs to clarify its policies on using AI tools. If it's a public company, this could lead to trouble with regulatory bodies. Definitely bring this up with your IT team!
At my workplace, this could lead to serious consequences. Sharing sensitive text like that without safeguards? It’s considered a fireable offense! Stay alert!
It's definitely a concern. There have been instances where users reported ChatGPT giving out personal information when it was uploaded from files. So, yeah, it might not be the safest bet. Better safe than sorry!
Honestly, I wouldn't say it's safe at all. If you or your colleagues are sharing confidential work, you could be exposing sensitive information. I'd advise against it, no exceptions!
Thanks for the advice! I'll definitely talk to our IT department about this.
