“The planning team said they would pay for ChatGPT individually with the corporate credit card. Are you crazy about signing up to improve the accuracy and efficiency of writing various documents such as proposals and proposals?”
Recently, an office worker who identified himself as a public relations and PR worker on the business network service “Remember” posted such a message under the title of “Are you out of your mind to pay for the ChatGPT corporate card?” and it became a hot topic as it exceeded 10,000 views and had more than 100 comments in just two days after it was posted.
Most of the office workers responded to the post by saying, “Isn’t it too twisted?” “Our company rather pays for it and encourages it to use it,” and “It is necessary to use it as it changes work efficiency.” However, the post has been deleted as if it is conscious of the controversy. Of course, there are also “disagreements.” A company manager-level employee in his 30s said, “It is important to use AI (artificial intelligence) while having basic ability to secure data, statistics, and reports necessary for work and to reconstruct them in what context they understand.”
Although there is a debate over the use of ChatGPT for company work, the majority of office workers are already using it freely. This is commonly confirmed in the results of surveys conducted by various platform companies.
According to a survey of 263 members conducted by Human Resource (HR) tech platform Job Korea in March, 79.5% said they are using AI at work.
According to a survey of 762 office workers conducted by JobPlanet, a career platform, 70.9 percent of them use ChatGPT at work almost every day. 14.8 percent said they use ChatGPT once or twice a week, while 9.5 percent said they use ChatGPT once or twice a week. Only 4.8 percent said they do not use ChatGPT at all. However, some cases of conflict are found in the workplace. Last month, another controversy arose over the fact that they were scolded by an older colleague by saying, “These days, employees don’t have to suffer and just take easy steps.”
The author, who identified himself as a security engineer, expressed his concerns, saying that he used ChatGPT to reduce work that normally takes more than two hours to around 30 minutes when working on documents, but heard such words.
In the same survey by JobPlanet, 93.7 percent of the respondents said they can use ChatGPT for work. In other words, most of the places where ChatGPT can be officially used within the company.
The tasks that use ChatGPT the most were writing and summary writing (40.1%), idea planning and search (28.4%), code generation (24.8%), unfamiliar tool usage search (4.7%), and other 2%.
Above all, 91.1% of the total respondents recognized that ‘using AI well is also part of their work ability’.
JobPlanet explained, “It is a result of showing that most office workers accept ChatGPT as a familiar work tool,” adding, “We can see that ChatGPT is being used naturally in the workplace just as it has become a part of daily life.”
