Is OpenAI’s ChatGPT Getting Used for Office Work?

According to new research OpenAI's ChatGPT is getting used for office work in offices of top firms

A growing number of people are using technologies like ChatGPT, a popular conversational chatbot from OpenAI, to do work-related activities. While employees are using ChatGPT to do their tasks, their bosses are still in the dark about the use of artificial intelligence in their organizations.

Over 43% of the 11,793 workers questioned in recent data from the professional networking app Fishbowl claimed they use ChatGPT or other similar AI applications for work-related activities. As compared to a similar study done in January of this year, this is an almost 50% increase. Only about 27% of respondents to the January Fishbowl survey were using generative AI-based technology for work-related tasks.

Just approximately 32% of those who utilized ChatGPT and other comparable technologies for work-related tasks, according to the Fishbowl poll, stated they did so with their boss's knowledge.

When asked if their manager is aware of their use of AI technologies for work-related tasks, 68% of respondents said they don't tell their boss about it.

Employees from prestigious organizations, like Amazon, Bank of America, Edelman, Google, IBM, JP Morgan, McKinsey, Meta, Nike, and Twitter, among others, participated in the study, according to Fishbowl.

Another conclusion from the poll shows that although workers preferred not to discuss their use of ChatGPT with their bosses, they were content to do so with their coworkers.

While survey respondents did not want to share their ChatGPT usage with their supervisors, they were willing to do so with their colleagues, according to another study. Since January, posts and comments mentioning ChatGPT have increased by 107%, according to Fishbowl.

The use of the chatbot for resumes and cover letters, copywriting, coding, and the creation of sales and marketing emails are among the frequently discussed topics. According to Fishbowl, who listed some of the hot subjects on ChatGPT in a blog post.

Since its debut in November of last year, ChatGPT has taken the globe by storm, inspiring equal parts awe and fear. The recent release of ChatGPT's GPT-4 language model, which is the most recent edition, has further heightened the excitement surrounding the chatbot. The general population is left wondering if ChatGPT will soon replace their work as businesses like Google and Microsoft compete for control of the generative AI-based chatbot industry.
