Is GPT allowed in real job ?

[Quan Fang]

Hi everyone! I'm currently enrolled in the C++ Programming course and was wondering if using GPT is allowed or commonly utilized in daily tasks as a quant?

Why not?

Let me ask chatGPT for you.
-----------------------
Yes, using GPT tools (like ChatGPT) is allowed in many professional contexts, but whether it is appropriate or permissible depends on factors such as your company's policies, industry regulations, and the specific tasks you're using it for. Here's a breakdown:

Where GPT is commonly used in jobs:​

1. Content Creation:
   
   • Drafting emails, reports, or articles.
   • Generating marketing copy or social media content.
2. Code Assistance:
   
   • Writing, debugging, or reviewing code.
   • Explaining technical concepts.
3. Data Analysis:
   
   • Summarizing data.
   • Writing scripts for data processing.
4. Customer Support:
   
   • Drafting responses to common queries.
   • Automating chatbot workflows.
5. Project Management:
   
   • Generating task lists or timelines.
   • Analyzing meeting notes.
6. Education & Training:
   
   • Providing explanations for complex topics.
   • Assisting with skill development.

Considerations Before Using GPT in Your Job:​

1. Company Policies:
   
   • Some organizations restrict the use of AI tools due to concerns about data privacy or intellectual property.
2. Data Sensitivity:
   
   • Avoid inputting confidential or proprietary information unless explicitly permitted by your company.
3. Accuracy Requirements:
   
   • Verify critical information generated by GPT, as AI may sometimes produce incorrect or misleading outputs.
4. Compliance and Regulations:
   
   • Industries like healthcare, finance, and law often have strict guidelines about using AI tools.
5. Transparency:
   
   • If you're using GPT to assist with tasks that involve others (e.g., emails or reports), ensure transparency about its use if required.

Best Practices for Using GPT at Work:​

• Use it as an assistant, not a replacement for your judgment.
• Review all outputs before using them in professional contexts.
• Keep a record of when and how GPT was used for accountability.
• Explore specific guidelines or enterprise solutions tailored for workplace use, like ChatGPT Enterprise.

Would you like advice on introducing GPT to your workplace or using it for specific tasks?

Let me emphasize that it is impossible not to use a tool that evidently eases your assignments and pushes boundaries.

I write books. I never use ChatGPT, just like I would not copy-and-paste someone else's code.
And it is so longwinded and 2nd hand information.

We did a test once, yawn.

My main concern with be getting stuff from ChatGPT, a bit like a 2nd hand car salesman.

for many regulatory, security and policy reasons, all these AI tool, like ChatGPT, copilot...etc are not allowed in the bank, at least i know the one I working for NOT allowed.

i personally really like to use them. I hope someday I can use them at work. They saves me time in searching information, content review, brainstorm ideas, draft out code against certain APIs...I found AI tool very helpful, even have paid for o1 pro mode (just paid for one month to try it out)

What about IP issues, copyright etc.?

What about IP issues, copyright etc.?

Feels Laws and Rules are indeed behind the curve, legislation and tools to help enforce the rules are not in place…

maybe what can beat/detect/identify AI cheating is another more powerful AI

I do saw some people advertise themselves as legal functions specialized in Big data and AI related issues….but not sure… are they legit
