Is ChatGPT/AI making kids stupid?

The company I work at recently sacked someone for using ChatGPT. Not only did she feed it confidential data, but she didn't bother to check the reports she asked it to generate. Lots of errors were picked up after she submitted them and eventually she had no choice but to admit what she had done. Madness...

I've not used AI once and don't think I will. I understand it can be helpful in some cases but I'd rather just search for myself.

ChatGPT doesn't store data

It does use user input to train the model. I do however believe you can disable this feature.

On a user account level, when I start a prompt to develop a new module for example, it remembers everything including my naming conventions etc from months ago, very smart and time saving.

We've strict rules at work to only use the work provided Copilot due to confidentiality, etc. reasons. I don't know the ins and outs of the various models but some may harvest information from user input and others will use it indirectly to refine/train the model(s) so sensitive information can leak.

Yeah same here, the Corporate M365 CoPilot is meant not to do any training on your companies data and I suppose from a security perspective all the data/files are already in the Microsoft Cloud anyway....

I'm starting to see a lot of lazy people literally just use CoPilot for everything without any checking or thought about it, its incredibly irritating.

We've one guy who started recently who is supposed to be some kind of "expert" in M365, etc who doesn't seem to be able to answer a single question about any of it without using CoPilot; I'm beginning to think he might have been talking absolute rubbish!
 
My boss just strongly encouraged me to look into AI to help my design workflow.

I'm the head of IT for a MAT of schools, and AI is a real hot topic at the moment in the edu market, and its such a difficult topic to balance, their is great value in AI as a tool, but we are also highly aware of the harm it can do , and I think that we are seeing this all through schools, it can be seen as an easy out for some things, as it can be so simple to ask the AI, but that doesn't help bolster your own creativity , or expand your knowledge, and as a result it can just help increase the digital divide.

Not a lot I am guessing, not mentioned copyright or how to "edit" it. He realises that it won't be 100% correct, the problem is how do you adjust the 20% wrong or 10% error, without changing other parts that you want to keep.

I explained it might be useful to generate single layer object rather than whole design.

I think they see it as a way to save time (and money i guess), and ask me to look into it and do some research. I mentioned that I have used it a couple of times already witht he built in AI tool in photoshop for object removal (it just cleans and clone faster for small area than simple clone too sometimes).

I have huge reservations in generating entire piece of design. It needs to be used like a sharp knife, not a bulldozer.
