What Do You Think About ChatGPT?

  • 1.  What Do You Think About ChatGPT?

    Posted 05-24-2023 22:15

    The ALTA Information Security Work Group met on May 23rd and one of the topics discussed was how to safely and effectively use ChatGPT. I've tried it myself and it seems to have some potential to create draft starter documents job descriptions and RFPs which could then be refined. It sure made drafting faster!

    Have you tried ChatGPT? How did you use it? What risks concern you? Let us know!

    I love it! I have been using it almost every day for the past few months. It is a great time saver for almost everything that I write - from emails to presentations. If you learn how to use it (not just ask generic questions), I don't see how you would ever go back - it is like having an extremely smart colleague (or better yet - like a huge team of extremely smart colleagues).

    I'm with Anton. I use it all the time and love it. It's really helpful to draft just about anything written. Social media posts, ad copy, emails, articles/blog posts, etc. To me, the most important thing to remember is to read anything from ChatGPT carefully, correct the mistakes (there will be plenty) and make it sound like you.

    Quick Tip, while it feels like talking to a person, it's not. You're talking to a machine. The quality of your inputs determine the quality of your outputs. So if you aren't getting the results you want, it's not because ChatGPT is bad, it's because the prompt is wrong. And, writing a good prompt is more of an art form than it is a science.

    It is an extremely useful tool. The key to using Chat GPT (and all the apps/programs that run off of it) is to have clear prompts (the question/task  you ask it to complete).
    As an example: "What are the top ways for a title company to brand themselves so that realtors will choose to work with them consistently?" It then generated a nice bullet pointed list. I can then say, "please create a blog post about bullet point #2" and it will do that.
    It can write code for websites too. Its very powerful, and this is just the beginning. 
    PLEASE NOTE:
    1. What it generates  is an awesome guide, but you need to edit it to fit your company, brand, market and expertise. With that said, it saves so much time!! 2. None of the info is sited. So you have to do your own due diligence. Don't take it as fact.
    3. It only sources info for the past 2 years.
    I use it daily and upgraded to Chat GPT 4 yesterday as that has plugins you can use for your browser.

    Happy to answer questions and I can share what I know.

    I'd love to know what was discussed as potential security issues.

    Not sure if you have to enter things into it and it converts it, BUT if you are entering ANY private information, I have been told that NONE of the information you enter is protected.  It can be used by accessed.  I would be EXTREMELY cautious if entering names, etc.

    Hey Kelly,

    Great question! I don't use ChatGPT much but I try to use Bard (Google's version) each day.

    I use it for a lot of things, from creating drafts of documents to generating business analytics queries.

    The biggest concern I have with these new systems is the potential to leak proprietary or sensitive information.

    In the spirit of using Bard often, I let it do the work for what it perceives as the biggest risks. This is very meta, but it gave a great response:

    -----------------------
    There are a number of risks about ChatGPT that concern me, including:
    • Bias: ChatGPT is trained on a massive dataset of text and code, which means that it can reflect the biases that are present in that data. This can lead to ChatGPT generating text that is offensive, harmful, or discriminatory.
    • Misinformation: ChatGPT can be used to generate text that is factually incorrect or misleading. This can be used to spread misinformation or propaganda.
    • Privacy: ChatGPT is trained on large amounts of data, which can include personal information. This data could be used to track users or to identify them.
    • Security: ChatGPT could be used to create malicious software or to attack computer systems.

    It is important to be aware of the risks associated with ChatGPT and to take steps to mitigate them. This includes using ChatGPT responsibly and being aware of the potential for bias, misinformation, privacy, and security risks.

    Here are some additional tips for mitigating the risks of ChatGPT:

    • Be aware of the biases that may be present in the data that ChatGPT is trained on. This can help you to identify and avoid text that is offensive, harmful, or discriminatory.
    • Be critical of the text that ChatGPT generates. Don't assume that everything that a ChatGPT generates is accurate or truthful.
    • Use ChatGPT in a safe and secure manner. Don't share personal information with ChatGPT and don't use it to access sensitive data.

    By following these tips, you can help to mitigate the risks of ChatGPT and use it safely and responsibly.

    -----------------------


    It can definitely be a helpful tool!

    Best,
    Andy

    The media around Chat GPT and AI in general had me afraid to use it until I spoke to another attorney who uses.  Now, I will never go back.  I have used it, or other AI apps, to draft content, edit content and create a slide deck.  I especially like using it to "tone down" emails for me.   I agree with everyone else on here that you have to read what it creates and make sure to edit it for your style, accuracy and a host of other things.  BUT, it is great for getting you started or helping you word things more effectively.
