the reason most companies have policies against AI is not because they're "against AI", but because using public LLMs leaks proprietary data god knows where and unless you have solid data compliance it's not safe in terms of cybersecurity.
the fact AI companies use your chats for future training is no secret. and there were cases where someone elses chats leaked to other users.
I just had a post-shower thought… If you went even just one year into the past and openly told your boss that you used an AI tool to write user stories, documentation, or code, you would've been scolded for skirting your responsibilities or "cheating." Some companies even had strict policies against using AI, and some still do.
Fast forward to today: if you tell your boss you used an AI tool, you're praised for efficiency and streamlining your workflow.
Just an interesting dichotomy between the two mindsets, and such a quick switchover.too. Even the stuffiest "non-tech" companies are openly encouraging the use of AI in your day-to-day nowadays, whether it be for writing code building presentations. As long as the work is good, they pat you on the back.
As somebody who likes automating stuff, I love to see it. But as a future slave to our future robot overlords, there still needs to be a place for us flesh bags.
