AI now let's me spend hours a day browsing MyBB, time that would have otherwise been spent working.

I did not receive the warning, so:
- I'm not working,
- I'm not people,
- I'm not using 'AI'
- IDGAF about unsolicited legal 'advise'

AI tools are used in decision-making that involves human work and may impact their employment or gauge their performance.

What till these experts hear about what happens in Excel.

Next you're going to tell me the bloated spyware operating system i have on my work laptop, the little piece of spyware i carry in my pocket, and the spyware mounted on telephone poles are also in breach.

Copilot offers a ringfenced experience for your company.

Chat GPT owns all you input into it however. Which means if you are coding and using ChatGPT it now owns that code and will happily share it with your competitors. As one point of sale company figured out when a newbie tester posted it into chatGPT only for 6 months down the line, their competitor now sitting with the same design app with the code also. Tester got fired, nothing the company could do about its competitor.

Depends on how you set up your account. Most importantly "do not share" options.

How to say stupid people are using AI without actually saying 'stupid people are using AI"

Are these the same lawyers who derive a huge chunk of their income from advising on compliance with POPIA, EEA, etc?
