# ChatGPT Discussion

## Usage?
Passing conversations in hallway - C code to run in diagnostics
Side projects
Useful as a learning exercise
Ask it to write your tests and then write the code yourself?
Summarising information / email writing?

## Considerations
Treat like code from StackOverflow
No discussion around the code, as you would have for SO
Not a replacement for writing tests
Security side - make sure you know what it will do
Understand Ts&Cs - do you need to reference where information/code has come from?
Legal side lagging behind adoption
Reality of side-by-side learning vs replacement - would people just end up using it as a replacement for learning how code actually works?
Loss of creativity and collaboration
Trained on 2021 data (will always lag)
Data that you put in will be saved by OpenAI
Considerations for collections of information as well as individual questions
Google bubble effect - will you get similar answers to what you've asked before?
OpenAI in research preview - likely to be monetised
Misunderstanding of cultural information
