My partner regularly receives similar Request For Proposals (RFP), so she created template responses that she validated with Legal in order to speed up the processing of RFP forms. Now her boss is suggesting her to use a custom ChatGPT integration fed with these template responses in order to ask the chatbot to regurgitate them later, in a form that needs to be vetted by Legal again, before filling in the same RFP forms. In order to "improve efficiency". 🤯

Now, I do get why unscrupulous bosses want to use AI to commodify intellectual work. I despise it, but I get it, it makes sense to me, even if every fiber of my being is against it. On the other hand, I don't understand this particular use other than ChatGPT being a hammer and everything is made into nails. This leads me to believe that the core market of OpenAI is simply stupid people wooed by a chatbot that sounds smarter than they are. It's brilliant, the scaling potential is infinite!

I guess the boss thinks anything which doesn't involve LLMs is inherently inefficient?

Some people just treat tech as actual magic if they have little idea or interest in how it actually works. There were stories about bosses wanting to compress zip files over and over again until they were 1 byte, to save on storage.

@Hypolite Petovan So I had a revelation, something that I already knew, but I kinda ... never processed.

People like ChatGPT because it's their friend. They respond to the being that is ChatGPT. Their friend ChatGPT helped them out earlier, and so now their friend ChatGPT can help here too!

@silverwizard I hear you, but in a professional context it's iffier. In this case, it's 100% magical thinking, imparted by a lacking ability to think for themselves critically. Some use cases are debatable ethically, but this isn't even one of those. It'd just be more work time to accomplish the same task because of the legal requirement.
