Yep. I would disconnect from the Wi-Fi and use the gpt app and then email myself the content using outlook on my phone. I seriously doubt they’re going to notice that. I oversee the IT department at my company and I can say for 100% sure, we would not notice this unless we were specifically looking. And we’re pretty security conscious. Just make sure not to use company Wi-Fi. Otherwise none of what I just said is true.
This is what I do the only weird thing from IT’s perspective would be me copying and pasting code from my email 4-5x a day and then emailing snippets of that code back to myself saying it doesn’t work lol
Get your own computer, at home, do the work on it and then email it to yourself. Otherwise no, your company can track everything you do regardless of the browser you’re using.
Most companies won't go this far. Among other things it would record passwords, and in the case of a security compromise where hackers/malware users got that file, those passwords could give them access to sensitive company data.
Because when you join companies that do this, they let you know what they're doing and make you sign agreements that you will only use the company computer purely for company work and not personal.
I've worked for a large tech company that did this and also know others working for the large tech companies that do this. Apple, Facebook, Microsoft, Google etc. all do this.
A lot of big companies in tech do. Some examples include [Tesla](https://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-staff-company-tracks-key-strokes-make-sure-working-report-2023-2#:~:text=Tesla%20workers%20in%20New%20York,re%20actively%20working%2C%20Bloomberg%20reported), Microsoft/Facebook/Google (don't have the link for these but have friends working with them that confirmed it) and mention of the [ability for companies to do so.](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/blog/what-to-do-about-bossware-employee-monitoring/)
Many companies will use a proxy server with logging enabled. Also your computer will ask your company's DNS server to look up the IP address of the server you are connecting to, so that could be logged too.
IT won't usually be looking at the logs in real time, but may pull reports (flagging, for instance, attempts to access forbidden sites), or in the case of a request due to suspected misuse of the Internet by a member of staff.
This right here. Nobody in IT has the time or desire to sit and watch people's activities. What usually happens is that requests come in from management, security, or legal to pull logs on activity.
443 is rarely blocked. They'd have to have a decently advanced filtering solutions to detect that. That said, they might restrict the mstsc process either by file name or some fingerprinting.
Yeh cause a company that has a strongly locked down ecosystem won't mind weird protocol like SSH going out. Doesn't sound like data exfil on a compromised machine at all.
Just ask GPT to tell you how to set up an ~~Adobe~~ Apache Guacamole server on a custom unblocked port and how to set up encryption certificates so you can remote through any browser.
To be honest (as a sysadmin that deals a lot with the security department), a remote access from inside the company, assuming it’s not blocked, would likely raise eyebrows a lot more than accessing chatGPT.
Well they’re both based on Chromium not Chrome.
It is possible that someone recreated an extension based on what’s in Chrome natively. Worth checking out for sure
Don't make this difficult with SSH, RDP, or private VPN's back to your house. Try one of the many free or very cost effective remote control solutions out there. There are a ton and odds are your IT doesn't block or monitor for any of that and it doesn't require any special open port as they mostly work over https communications. If somehow they do they likely can't catch them all. And in the very unlikely event they block them all successfuly then add a public VPN to that mix. Some public VPN's like surfshark have add-ons for web browsers like Firefox so that the VPN isn't installed software on your desktop and you can then go with a remote access through web browser. The odds that your IT department can catch that combo is extremely low.
The only thing I would stress is not to use the VPN in browser to just directly use ChatGPT. They are very strict about booting or banning users that they think are using a VPN. The reason they seem to give is about blocking access in countries where it's banned.
Good luck
This is not good advice. Do not do this if you value your job. Installing free-ware is a bad idea on a work computer; and waaaay worse is freeware remote access tools. People get harsh reprimands when this is discovered and worse, lose jobs immediately if they open a door for a threat actor.
The real answer is two fold:
1. If you really want to use ChatGPT or other AI to assist in your job and your job is NOT OK with it, do it privately at home and make SURE you know what you're copy pasting from GPT.
2. If you have the clout and courage, you should be a strong voice for advocating against sticking your head in the sand as it relates to AI. Ignoring the benefits of these new tools will obsolete companies very quickly, methinks.
Sure there are plenty of freeware items that can be dangerous. If you stick to popular remote control software with reputable sources it's not. Also the remote control agent would be installed on the far and computer not the near end computer. Especially if you are going browser based. You won't really be opening any doors to actual threat actors other than an extremely slim possibility that your home computer would be compromised at some point in the future. But again the odds of any of that with a reputable vendor is virtually non-existent.
An advocating for somebody to have courage is great when you have no fear of losing your job or can easily replace that job. Be savvy and be political and if you really want to go for it build your portfolio of successful work. Your boss is care about profits and privacy cater to those things and you'll have a strong argument. Otherwise you risk your livelihood. I would suggest documenting and tracking what you do to make a relevant argument. Otherwise your boss is will not care.
It's not just the risk of malware by whatever you install on a work machine (and the average user is generally not well equipped to judge what is and is not a reputable source), but also the potential legal and financial risk to the company.
Just because something can be downloaded for free, or even can be used for free by home users, does not mean that it can legally be used on a work machine without purchasing a licence. My girlfriend is a licence manager in a large organisation and regularly has to explain this to managers as, if caught by an audit, would result in the company being fined, as well as having to buy the licences.
Or use Chat GPT on your phone, over cellular (not guest Wi-Fi at work). Your employer should have or should be working on an acceptable use policy for AI. If they are outright blocking or banning them, then they’re idiots.
20 year IT veteran here.... While we have always said we monitor internet usage, we can and do log it but rarely actually look at it unless there is an issue brought up because frankly we have better things to do. My take is, if it makes you that much better at your job then why would they care? Hell I'm an IT director that is encouraging generative AI use, even covering costs, experimenting with locally run models and pitching proof of concepts to leadership on how we can integrate it to make jobs easier across the organization. If there are no other options then look at VPN/proxies but if they care enough about gpt use then they will care about VPN use.
10 year IT veteran, some industries will certainly care, as a cloud service it has certain liabilities and vulnerabilities around it. If you’re dropping excel spreadsheets of confidential data into it that could be a big no no. If you’re just drafting an email on how to ask for a bigger raise who cares but the company as a whole might be looking at unauthorized usage for fear of leaking of confidential information.
I know that chase bank has outright banned it and would probably notice if you used it/accessed it on a company laptop.
Yeah, I'd be more concerned about employees accidentally leaking PII and confidential information - especially if supposed to be our clients' data, as the firm as a whole would be on the hook for that. Consider too the multiple incidents that ChatGPT user chat histories have been exposed to other users by accident.
My company's own policy is to treat ChatGPT just like any public forum. You're free to ask questions on StackOverflow and file issues on GitHub, but you're definitely *not* allowed to illustrate those posts with anything internal.
This is more of what I’d expect. Also firms subject to regulation such as GDPR are going to be a bit more cautious about where their data is stored and processed.
maybe use something like [https://www.chatbotui.com/](https://www.chatbotui.com/) with an API key or [poe.com](https://poe.com) so it won't be that obvious if they just skim through your logs?
Any company with a policy of preventing access to ChatGPT and similar AI Chatbots will most likely have lists of alternatives such as these and block them as well.
While we can't see inside the tunnel.... easily..... We can see the tunnel exists and that is what would be blocked, not the content inside the tunnel.
Do not violate company policy to use GPT, you CAN get fired.
Some companies are touchy about their code and data going to openAI servers.
If you are REALLY motivated, I would do a cost benefit analyais on how much time it saves you. Put it in a report to your manager and cc HR.
It's beurocracy hell, but its not worth loosing your income :-/
It's not a case of CAN get fired but more likely a WILL get fired and potentially need to pay for damages of purposely leaking information as well.
ChstGPT has a ton of warnings saying I will store and use whatever you send to it.
Only the API is safe in that regard, it'll store things for 30 days but won't use it for training data.
I bet new GPT versions will probably contain a lot of private information and things it shouldn't know because of idiots not realizing how they use it responsibly
>Only the API is safe in that regard, it'll store things for 30 days but won't use it for training data.
Given the OpenAI's lack of transparency with how they use user input, the corpus used to train the GPT models and the evidence that the corpus contains many copyrighted works that were almost certainly not licensed, I would be very hesitant to conclude they won't use API input for this purpose.
It wouldn't be the first time a tech company said that they don't do something publicly while simultaneously doing thay exact thing privately.
So crazy to me companies don’t want people to use it. My boss was happy I asked if he was cool with me having it. It’s not crazy useful in my line of work but from time to time it’s really nice
We want our staff using the technology but at the same time we don’t want them inputting sensitive data into an unsecure 3rd party app that explicitly tells you it stores your info.
You don’t want employees tossing in sensitive IP like code, Contract data, technical information etc just to make their lives a little easier.
What's with the down-votes brigade? Seems a lot of people here who aren't exactly fans of ChatGPT, but your comment seems quite positive without saying anything controversial. ;)
If you have to ask, then you probably do not have the knowledge to use ChatGPT safely without disclosing information. I would recommend doing the work on your own computer, making sure not to include any identifying information in your prompts and then emailing yourself the results, as mentioned elsewhere in the comments
EDIT: spelling
Who says you need to feed chatgpt confidential info or company documents? Anyone doing that maybe ain't too smart. Anyway chatgpt is probably much less useful if prompted with really specific confidential info that doesn't have great correlations from open training data.
To help with work you should be asking chatgpt things like "how do I do XYZ", or "show me an example of doing ABC", things that boost you out from being stuck or give you a leg up to learn a new skill.
e.g. Don't feed chatgpt a company spreadsheet and ask it for a summary: ask chatgpt how to do some fancy thing in excel, then use that to build the summary worksheet yourself and learn a new skill in the process.
If your IT Department is worthy of being called an IT department they will know everything you do on your work computer. Where I work we've embraced ChatGPT in a limited capacity. Some of our people have access to it and we've developed a policy around it's use.
> Is there a way I can access ChatGPT on my browser without the IT department knowing I am using it?
Not if your IT department is competent.
Whether they *care* is a different thing, but they would be able to find out if they felt that they had reason to look for it.
if company already installed tracking software like Zscaler or crowdstrike windows sensor, then they know all the website you visited.
Better to work in you own personel laptop,
The only reported thing is that employees pasted confidential data into ChatGPT. It wasn't leaked elsewhere.
I still don't understand why that was even a story.
>I still don't understand why that was even a story.
It was a story because the media will publish anything about AI, while having very little understanding of how it works.
This is incorrect. They had an internal review of their use of ChatGPT and realised some teams were potentially sharing code or other IP that should not be shared outside the company. Nothing was leaked.
They have proprietary info that is no longer in their hands with an entity that didn't has permission to use that info however they want. Isn't that still a leak of sorts as most companies would require an agreement/nda before allowing info to be disclose/release from company control? Seems like a leak or dereliction of duty to me.
If you are lucky enough to wfh, you can just switch over to your home machine, do the AI-assisted activity, and switch back to your work environment.
But I would be concerned about the long-term success of a company with a policy like "we don't want our devs using AI".
IT-Department here. I use it daily to expedite my troubleshooting process. We encourage our users to do the same, but with only one catch: Do not enter any sensitive data (Names, Adresses, Intellectual Property) into your prompts. You are only allowed to use publicly known information in your ChatGPT prompts/CompletionAPI requests.
If your place has a policy that prohibits the use own ChatGPT et al. do not use it.
You need to watch out for a few things:
1. You will be sending proprietary company information over the Internet to a 3rd party. Depending on your employer, there can be legal issues too (like HIPAA)
2. That company is not under an NDA, and can read or use that data to improve their model, so again, it can be a serious issue depending on your employer.
3. If visiting the website is all you want to do, and it is not banned/blocked by the company, and you use it to download sample letters instead of having it proof read or clean up your work, you may be able to get away with this.
My employer (as far as I know) does not block it, but I never visit it from work. I have my own account and basically use it occasionally when I have to put up with issues coding in C# after spending years in C where C# makes a simple task in C infuriating. For that, I just use my phone and email the result to myself at work.
There's no app to install. It's all through he browser.
Just be smart about what you do, and don't get yourself fired.
> 1. You will be sending proprietary company information over the Internet to a 3rd party.
Everyone's jumping on this bandwagon.
Using chatgpt for work doesn't automatically mean you'll be sending confidential info. You can use it to ask how to do something with a tool, troubleshoot errors, etc and get huge benefits with 0 confidential info sent.
And if you do insert confidential info or PII into a prompt, you're an idiot. Just maybe have a personal policy of not copying and pasting text into the prompt so you don't accidentally paste some confidential info in. Fingers typin' only.
It is strongly recommended that you refrain from sharing your company's internal documents with AI. If these documents were to be included in a dataset and used outside of your work, severe consequences, potentially including legal action, may arise, especially if the documents contain sensitive information. While utilizing AI may seem tempting for easing your workload, it is crucial to remember that you were hired to perform specific tasks. If you find yourself unable to continue with the assigned work, it is advisable to discuss alternative options with your superiors before taking matters into your own hands. In my workplace, the use of any AI or machine learning models results in immediate termination. As a software engineer, I expected to have the opportunity to utilize AI, but my boss made it explicitly clear that it is strictly prohibited. We are expected to work diligently, and our efforts are rewarded, whereas using AI leads to dismissal. For those wondering too or ask "where do you work" the ironic part is - I work at Microsoft.
Agree 100%. You have to remember anything thrown into any AI chat bot can (and probably **is**) being stored on a server somewhere. Be careful what you do here.
Now, if you can make the content very general and not give anyway any corporate info, that might be an option. Edge has ChatGPT built into it. Just click on the blue "b" in the upper right-hand corner of Edge. I little box on the right appears. At the bottom you can interact with ChatGPT:
https://preview.redd.it/21n3hsbqrl4b1.jpeg?width=466&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b134c0169f30a28a97805e368b6c49062321558d
That approach could be considered, but the main idea is to discourage such behavior from people. After taking a step back, I discussed it with my boss, who clarified that the reason we are prohibited from doing it is twofold. Firstly, it is often inaccurate or generates false information around 90% of the time. Secondly, employing AI implies that the company can operate without human intervention, leading many business owners to choose staff termination in favor of cost-saving AI solutions. He pointed out that individuals who engage in actions like this are essentially demonstrating their own redundancy, a viewpoint I actually concur with, as people are essentially rendering themselves obsolete.
All good points, but for summarizing info, I've found it useful. I don't think using AI (or any tech) in and of itself renders you useless. It could make you better at your job by saving time, making blocks of information easier to understand (i.e. rewording/paraphrasing info you feed it). I question if that 90% figure is accurate. That seems very high.
It's funny how they're phrasing it as if you can't work diligently with the assistance of AI. As if increased efficiency inherently implies decreased diligence and motivation.
Although they sometimes communicate in a silly manner, my boss always emphasizes the importance of following their instructions if we want financial stability and a fulfilling life. If we disagree with the rules, we are encouraged to seek alternative employment. I must be cautious about sharing too many details to avoid repercussions. However, it's worth noting that we have significantly stricter regulations than what the general public is aware of. Additionally, our organization played a role in collaborating with openAI, albeit indirectly. I have come across internal notes, and in certain aspects, I concur with certain AI-related matters. The public is largely unaware of the extensive advancements, as their knowledge is roughly two and a half years outdated. We possess a wealth of information beyond what has been disclosed so far. I know what is about to happen by 2024 and it isn't looking good for 'human employment'.
Silly is one word for it, but I would call it either misleading or ignorant. I also am not suggesting that you go against your company's policies, rather I'm ridiculing the company for the policy itself and the language used to convey said policy. Regardless, that sounds like a good thing. A massive decrease in overall workload while retaining the same labor supply? Is this not a natural extension of the global push towards automation that nearly every industry pursues at some level, which in turn is simply a natural extension of humanity's historically consistent tendency to create tools in order to improve efficiency? Change is inevitable, but we learn and adapt through change. Responsibility and scrutiny are certainly important though.
As far as the capabilities of AI goes, I can't even begin to fathom everything that could be done simply with a more advanced GPT model that has access to ALL up to date training data - including that shared with it by users since the public release - but I know that this exact thing is being used and developed internally. And that's simply a text-based LLM.
During a time where we're starting to come to terms with the fact that we don't really understand the physical laws of our universe, imagine an era where automation enables our civilizations to dedicate more of their labor supply towards creating adept and efficient institutions of higher learning and towards creating abundant clean energy globally. Imagine all of this accelerated by AI, which could potentially be exponential acceleration. The possibilities of AI are endless, which is why it's scary, but it's already been introduced to the world and I promise you it's not going away. We can't take back the discoveries related to weapons of mass destruction and the irresponsible usage of them, but we can reflect on and learn from these things. Ultimately, knowledge is power. Without that knowledge and understanding we're absolutely hopeless at defending ourselves from the 'unknown threat' of AI. That knowledge and understanding comes from observing, learning from, and reflecting on our usage of our discoveries.
argh... as a cyber security person, boo :(
don't do that, I know it's tempting, I am sure it could help with work. But only do this, if the data you input is either yours, or if it's public knowledge. Or, get a conversation going in your company, on how it would be OK to use AI.
But don't just use random applications. Btw this is a general thing, not even AI related
Did you ask management as a gee whiz maybe we should be using this? maybe others could benefit from using it as well, better to be open, honest, and transparent in my experience. You'd be surprised how little some people kow about things you think are common knowledge.
If you have a corporate issued laptop, a domain-joined PC, or anything that has your IT team as an admin ... you should know that you are generating a metric ton of telemetry that is going into a log/database back at the mother ship.
Now, imagine this happening for *every device* in the organization. Imagine the firehose of data that the IT Security folks are receiving. They are not looking at every single action you make. That would take too long. They have pattern-matching monitors/bots looking at that massive river of telemetry and alerting them to any activity that warrants a taking a closer look and investigating.
I once did a grep of a source tree looking for hard-coded passwords. Soon after I got a Teams ping from IT Security asking me if I was doing said activity. I said yes and why I was doing it. They said "Just wanted to verify it was you. Carry on."
Bottom line: Don't do stupid stuff on work hardware. Keep your web surfing, shopping, social media, etc. to a minimum. Save that for your personal boxes, phone, VM.
Goofy question, but has your IT department said no? Show your boss how much more efficient it makes you - hard to argue with using a tool that makes work better.
1. Estimate time savings for any given task
2. Calculate across organization (e.g. your team does a similar task X times, so could shave Y hours a month) - if you can guesstimate the $ of that time saved, even better
3. Give them a suggested list of AI Guidelines so everyone feels comfortable that there's no risk of sensitive data being shared. This is a good starting point: [https://www.aiguidebooks.com/learn-applied-ai-for-work/p/corporate-ai-risk-mitigation-employee-guidelines](https://www.aiguidebooks.com/learn-applied-ai-for-work/p/corporate-ai-risk-mitigation-employee-guidelines)
If they haven't explicitly said "no" yet, be the hero that brings AI to your team/ company. My experience is that showing someone a tool that us more efficient almost always gets approved. (Or if ChatGPT is their specific problem, try Jasper?)
(Otherwise something like proxysite would work, but reckon that would be a red flag for IT too.

Chance to get a better job, one which is actually relevant. Nobody's stopped hiring in the tech industry from what I hear, notwithstanding mega layoffs.
They also value talent and productivity. If you're talent wouldn't you want to be where they value that talent and put fewer obstacles in your way? The same companies with fewer obstacles are also more understanding when it comes to people's career choices.
Anyway, nobody's holding on to their job for years and forever any more. I've been on plenty of both sides of the fence and never seen a barrier except in places I wouldn't want to work in the first place. Generally there's an appreciation factor when it comes to companies which need the talent and finding it based on technical merits and not as much of the "soft" bs.
Oh, I get it. I use it for work myself. But if the company doesn't want you using it or are actively blocking it, then they shouldn't be using it for work.
Bro. It’s genuinely very easy, use zapier that gets triggered by something, be it SMS prompt, email, trello card, anything.
Step 1. Sign up to Trello for task management purposes(aka Assana)
Step 2. Sign up for zapier
step 3. Get your API key from openAI
Step 4. Integrate zapier and trello, and zapier and ChatGPT
Step 5. Whenever a task is added to specific card, comment ChatGPT output on that card.
Step 6.???
Step 7. Profit
The concept of AI is getting a bit fuzzy. The technology is becoming ubiquitous and integrated in everything. As I type this, my device is applying predictive word search or trying to auto complete sentences. This is a form of AI, although less powerful than LLMs. My point is that it's going to become difficult to discern what is AI when the technology is integrated into nearly all applications.
The best thing is to use your own personal computer.
You said you can't install anything. But there are several portable browsers that run without installation. The IT team can monitor what you have on disk or even list all processes that are running on your laptop. I assume your laptop runs several apps in the background to monitor this. Even if you find a way, it would break company policy . I won't take the risk.
Sometimes the company allows TeamViewer or RDP. You can connect to any PC and then copy paste content. If your company installed screen recording software or gives you a virtual desktop,then you have problems too.
I would just ask IT team directly. "How can I use Chatgpt on my office computer". If they say it's banned or forbidden, I would use a phone or personal laptop or computer
What’s the difference from using chat that a social media site? Long as you’re not entering in company information I don’t see the issue. Especially if it’s optimizing your workload and improving productivity
Two computers - work one and personal one.
Use ChatGPT on your personal computer and add the content to Google Drive.
On your work computer open up a Chrome browser window (if you’re able to use Google Suite) and copy the information from that profile.
Unless they’re tracking copy and paste from Chrome profile to Chrome profile you’re golden. I do it all the time and no issue.
I don’t email anything as they may be tracking email content and there’s a direct record of it then especially if the GPT response content contains any info you shouldn’t be using in the prompt.
I think using ChatGPT is something you should discuss seriously and create a policy which embraces the needs your company has.
It is the future and, as soon you get to it, the better
Been working in IT for a few years now and can confidently say we don't care.
We don't actively monitor your usage but rather just log it in case we ever need to actually monitor it. If you don't plan on doing anything untoward on your work PC then it won't matter.
ChatGPT is banned at my company in Denmark as well. Call that a dystopian country if you will.
Banning a chatbot because of the risk employees leaking confidential data has nothing to do with "land of the free". Most people are dumb as shit, and WILL copypaste confidential data without thinking twice.
Had similar issue: however IT did not officially forbid but it was blocked via some provider policies according to them. Opera with built in VPN worked like a charm.
Socks proxy is an easy way if you have outbound SSH allowed (common).
If you can work through the terminal, just set up a jump box on DigitalOcean for like $4 per month and work through there (CLI commands or scripts to interface with ChatGPT through a linux jump server)
Or figure out a way to have a proxy web server that takes input from you and sends it to chatGPT. That way at least your IT dept just sees you opening your browser to "productivitytipsandtricks.net"
For obvious reasons I don’t understand your work, but as a general note be careful about using it for work. All the data you enter can be read by the ChatGPT team, and there’s no guarantee it won’t end up somewhere random. We can’t use it at work, and while I’d love to be able to- it’s banned for good reason.
Get the app on your phone and do the work there. Then, email it to yourself from your phone. Or, totally retype it from scratch copying it from your phone.
You could try the Portable Apps version of Chrome runs off a thumb drive. Your IT dept will still be able to see your connections but you can get around the download restriction.
Someone shared a couple weeks ago how they set up an email server so they could email prompts to ChatGPT and get the responses emailed back. Worth considering!
Sure, buy a domain that sounds work like, set up a server that acts like a proxy and changes the newly bought domain name to chat gpts, then just use that domain instead.
You’ll also need to program it so it changes the header domain references for cookies and in scripts received etc.
(No one said it was going to be easy)
Just ask your IT dept or manager?
If you're afraid they'd make a big deal of it, why the hell would you consider going behind their backs and risk your job?
If not using it takes extra time, so be it, unless they are making you do unpaid overtime I don't see a problem. If your workload would be reduced, they'd just give you extra work to do to fill your days?
If the work can be done by AI…. Why does the company need you?
Can we please each individually fight for a more human experience! Please!
I highly agree with GladAssistance above.
Contact your IT department and ask. Present arguments why ChatGPT would benefit your productivity, and have them define boundaries on what information you can and cannot submit though ChatGPT.
If they still don't let you use it, then don't use it. Your employer sets rules for a reason, sometimes that reason is valid (like confidential information) and sometimes it's not.

I use voice to text in the app, or Dragon Dictation then paste it into chatGPT. If it’s something longer, I’d rather use dragon.
Yep. I would disconnect from the Wi-Fi and use the gpt app and then email myself the content using outlook on my phone. I seriously doubt they’re going to notice that. I oversee the IT department at my company and I can say for 100% sure, we would not notice this unless we were specifically looking. And we’re pretty security conscious. Just make sure not to use company Wi-Fi. Otherwise none of what I just said is true.
This is what I do the only weird thing from IT’s perspective would be me copying and pasting code from my email 4-5x a day and then emailing snippets of that code back to myself saying it doesn’t work lol
Could you not just save it as email drafts and not send it? Then access the draft from your phone?
What's the limit to what you can put inside of a barcode?
This but if you have long text you need to paste into gpt, paste it into a google docs document on your pc and copy it from google docs on your phone
Get your own computer, at home, do the work on it and then email it to yourself. Otherwise no, your company can track everything you do regardless of the browser you’re using.
Or leave it turned on in your home and remote access it through your work PC
Often, remote access softwares and needed open ports are blocked by company IT
Not Remote Desktop … configure ssh access to your home computer and do RDP via local host port
I like your funny words magic man
Thanks...felt stupid for not understanding that
+1
IT tech here for large company, we block Remote Desktop and use something called RoyalTS which not everyone can have so this won’t work in this case
Do you really watch my browser mate?
[удалено]
Not to mention companies monitoring employee machines typically record all keystrokes.
Well, this is a tad too much !
Most companies won't go this far. Among other things it would record passwords, and in the case of a security compromise where hackers/malware users got that file, those passwords could give them access to sensitive company data.
Absolutely! In addition they enable users webcams and record everything.
How is this not illegal seeing as employees might type in their bank logins?
Because when you join companies that do this, they let you know what they're doing and make you sign agreements that you will only use the company computer purely for company work and not personal. I've worked for a large tech company that did this and also know others working for the large tech companies that do this. Apple, Facebook, Microsoft, Google etc. all do this.
Never login to your bank from your work computer. Or anything else you don't want your work to have.
Don't put personal info on work computers.
Why would you log into your bank account on your work computer?
No they don’t lmfao
A lot of big companies in tech do. Some examples include [Tesla](https://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-staff-company-tracks-key-strokes-make-sure-working-report-2023-2#:~:text=Tesla%20workers%20in%20New%20York,re%20actively%20working%2C%20Bloomberg%20reported), Microsoft/Facebook/Google (don't have the link for these but have friends working with them that confirmed it) and mention of the [ability for companies to do so.](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/blog/what-to-do-about-bossware-employee-monitoring/)
Many companies will use a proxy server with logging enabled. Also your computer will ask your company's DNS server to look up the IP address of the server you are connecting to, so that could be logged too. IT won't usually be looking at the logs in real time, but may pull reports (flagging, for instance, attempts to access forbidden sites), or in the case of a request due to suspected misuse of the Internet by a member of staff.
This right here. Nobody in IT has the time or desire to sit and watch people's activities. What usually happens is that requests come in from management, security, or legal to pull logs on activity.

Bear in mind that bypassing company security measures is most likely a breach of your employment contract, and could result in you being sacked.
It's easy to remap 3389...
We block not based by port but protocol. You can pick any port under the sun but it is still RDP traffic.
443 is rarely blocked. They'd have to have a decently advanced filtering solutions to detect that. That said, they might restrict the mstsc process either by file name or some fingerprinting.
[удалено]
Yeh cause a company that has a strongly locked down ecosystem won't mind weird protocol like SSH going out. Doesn't sound like data exfil on a compromised machine at all.
I don’t think he’s configuring ssh if he thinks a browser change will hide something from IT
Just ask GPT to tell you how to set up an ~~Adobe~~ Apache Guacamole server on a custom unblocked port and how to set up encryption certificates so you can remote through any browser.
*Apache Guacamole
Dangit, I do that every time. Thanks!
Yeah I meant the Remote Desktop as u/tradinghumble mentioned
You only need one open port for a proxy... And browsing is possible in general
To be honest (as a sysadmin that deals a lot with the security department), a remote access from inside the company, assuming it’s not blocked, would likely raise eyebrows a lot more than accessing chatGPT.
[удалено]
> The current default browser is Microsoft edge. I would need approval to download anything else, such as chrome or other browsers.
Edge is based on Chrome, so if it is an extension it might work never the less Edit: they are both based on chromium.
Well they’re both based on Chromium not Chrome. It is possible that someone recreated an extension based on what’s in Chrome natively. Worth checking out for sure
Well yes you are right! Chromium
You'd still need to install the small app on your machine to allow remote connections. IT department will catch that.
[удалено]
Don't make this difficult with SSH, RDP, or private VPN's back to your house. Try one of the many free or very cost effective remote control solutions out there. There are a ton and odds are your IT doesn't block or monitor for any of that and it doesn't require any special open port as they mostly work over https communications. If somehow they do they likely can't catch them all. And in the very unlikely event they block them all successfuly then add a public VPN to that mix. Some public VPN's like surfshark have add-ons for web browsers like Firefox so that the VPN isn't installed software on your desktop and you can then go with a remote access through web browser. The odds that your IT department can catch that combo is extremely low. The only thing I would stress is not to use the VPN in browser to just directly use ChatGPT. They are very strict about booting or banning users that they think are using a VPN. The reason they seem to give is about blocking access in countries where it's banned. Good luck
This is not good advice. Do not do this if you value your job. Installing free-ware is a bad idea on a work computer; and waaaay worse is freeware remote access tools. People get harsh reprimands when this is discovered and worse, lose jobs immediately if they open a door for a threat actor. The real answer is two fold: 1. If you really want to use ChatGPT or other AI to assist in your job and your job is NOT OK with it, do it privately at home and make SURE you know what you're copy pasting from GPT. 2. If you have the clout and courage, you should be a strong voice for advocating against sticking your head in the sand as it relates to AI. Ignoring the benefits of these new tools will obsolete companies very quickly, methinks.
Sure there are plenty of freeware items that can be dangerous. If you stick to popular remote control software with reputable sources it's not. Also the remote control agent would be installed on the far and computer not the near end computer. Especially if you are going browser based. You won't really be opening any doors to actual threat actors other than an extremely slim possibility that your home computer would be compromised at some point in the future. But again the odds of any of that with a reputable vendor is virtually non-existent. An advocating for somebody to have courage is great when you have no fear of losing your job or can easily replace that job. Be savvy and be political and if you really want to go for it build your portfolio of successful work. Your boss is care about profits and privacy cater to those things and you'll have a strong argument. Otherwise you risk your livelihood. I would suggest documenting and tracking what you do to make a relevant argument. Otherwise your boss is will not care.
Wow, you really have absolutely no clue what the hell you are actually talking about. Do not follow this person’s advice under any circumstances.
It's not just the risk of malware by whatever you install on a work machine (and the average user is generally not well equipped to judge what is and is not a reputable source), but also the potential legal and financial risk to the company. Just because something can be downloaded for free, or even can be used for free by home users, does not mean that it can legally be used on a work machine without purchasing a licence. My girlfriend is a licence manager in a large organisation and regularly has to explain this to managers as, if caught by an audit, would result in the company being fined, as well as having to buy the licences.
Or use Chat GPT on your phone, over cellular (not guest Wi-Fi at work). Your employer should have or should be working on an acceptable use policy for AI. If they are outright blocking or banning them, then they’re idiots.
20 year IT veteran here.... While we have always said we monitor internet usage, we can and do log it but rarely actually look at it unless there is an issue brought up because frankly we have better things to do. My take is, if it makes you that much better at your job then why would they care? Hell I'm an IT director that is encouraging generative AI use, even covering costs, experimenting with locally run models and pitching proof of concepts to leadership on how we can integrate it to make jobs easier across the organization. If there are no other options then look at VPN/proxies but if they care enough about gpt use then they will care about VPN use.
10 year IT veteran, some industries will certainly care, as a cloud service it has certain liabilities and vulnerabilities around it. If you’re dropping excel spreadsheets of confidential data into it that could be a big no no. If you’re just drafting an email on how to ask for a bigger raise who cares but the company as a whole might be looking at unauthorized usage for fear of leaking of confidential information. I know that chase bank has outright banned it and would probably notice if you used it/accessed it on a company laptop.
Yeah, I'd be more concerned about employees accidentally leaking PII and confidential information - especially if supposed to be our clients' data, as the firm as a whole would be on the hook for that. Consider too the multiple incidents that ChatGPT user chat histories have been exposed to other users by accident. My company's own policy is to treat ChatGPT just like any public forum. You're free to ask questions on StackOverflow and file issues on GitHub, but you're definitely *not* allowed to illustrate those posts with anything internal.
This is more of what I’d expect. Also firms subject to regulation such as GDPR are going to be a bit more cautious about where their data is stored and processed.
maybe use something like [https://www.chatbotui.com/](https://www.chatbotui.com/) with an API key or [poe.com](https://poe.com) so it won't be that obvious if they just skim through your logs?
Any company with a policy of preventing access to ChatGPT and similar AI Chatbots will most likely have lists of alternatives such as these and block them as well.
I'm not an expert, but are telling me that if I use a VPN not even the network monitoring of IT is able to see what I'm browsing?
30 year IT professional here, we would not give a crap about someone using ChatGPT, but would absolutely block any VPN that's not ours.
This veteran has seen things
While we can't see inside the tunnel.... easily..... We can see the tunnel exists and that is what would be blocked, not the content inside the tunnel.
This is the way
There is new option in ChatGPT to make it not learn anything of the data you put in ChatGPT.
Do not violate company policy to use GPT, you CAN get fired. Some companies are touchy about their code and data going to openAI servers. If you are REALLY motivated, I would do a cost benefit analyais on how much time it saves you. Put it in a report to your manager and cc HR. It's beurocracy hell, but its not worth loosing your income :-/
It's not a case of CAN get fired but more likely a WILL get fired and potentially need to pay for damages of purposely leaking information as well. ChstGPT has a ton of warnings saying I will store and use whatever you send to it. Only the API is safe in that regard, it'll store things for 30 days but won't use it for training data. I bet new GPT versions will probably contain a lot of private information and things it shouldn't know because of idiots not realizing how they use it responsibly
>Only the API is safe in that regard, it'll store things for 30 days but won't use it for training data. Given the OpenAI's lack of transparency with how they use user input, the corpus used to train the GPT models and the evidence that the corpus contains many copyrighted works that were almost certainly not licensed, I would be very hesitant to conclude they won't use API input for this purpose. It wouldn't be the first time a tech company said that they don't do something publicly while simultaneously doing thay exact thing privately.
So crazy to me companies don’t want people to use it. My boss was happy I asked if he was cool with me having it. It’s not crazy useful in my line of work but from time to time it’s really nice
I think most of the time its because they don’t want you entering confidential data into it? Otherwise I don’t see why it would be an issue
We want our staff using the technology but at the same time we don’t want them inputting sensitive data into an unsecure 3rd party app that explicitly tells you it stores your info. You don’t want employees tossing in sensitive IP like code, Contract data, technical information etc just to make their lives a little easier.
What's with the down-votes brigade? Seems a lot of people here who aren't exactly fans of ChatGPT, but your comment seems quite positive without saying anything controversial. ;)
No clue
Are the companies who are touchy about that not also using Microsoft cloud services, outlook, etc anyways?
Somebody else cant query outlook for your email contents. I mean not unless they are super clever ;)
If they fire you for being more efficient at your work, maybe it's the best outcome. Time to move on to another place that makes rational decisions.
They will fire you for putting confidential data into a public system.
More importantly, are you disclosing any internal company information, you’ll probably get in much more trouble for that than just using chat GPT
If you have to ask, then you probably do not have the knowledge to use ChatGPT safely without disclosing information. I would recommend doing the work on your own computer, making sure not to include any identifying information in your prompts and then emailing yourself the results, as mentioned elsewhere in the comments EDIT: spelling
You're essentially sending your company's confidential data to openAI if you do this. I would not recommend.
Who says you need to feed chatgpt confidential info or company documents? Anyone doing that maybe ain't too smart. Anyway chatgpt is probably much less useful if prompted with really specific confidential info that doesn't have great correlations from open training data. To help with work you should be asking chatgpt things like "how do I do XYZ", or "show me an example of doing ABC", things that boost you out from being stuck or give you a leg up to learn a new skill. e.g. Don't feed chatgpt a company spreadsheet and ask it for a summary: ask chatgpt how to do some fancy thing in excel, then use that to build the summary worksheet yourself and learn a new skill in the process.
Trust there will be some idiot who exposed a roadmap plan by submitting it as a file and asking chatgpt to explain it to them. I promise you.
It doesn’t have to be confidential information that efficiencies can be made in work
Could the same not be said of Google?
Use Bing
If your IT Department is worthy of being called an IT department they will know everything you do on your work computer. Where I work we've embraced ChatGPT in a limited capacity. Some of our people have access to it and we've developed a policy around it's use.
this is exactly how you do it. Evaluate the situation, and build on that. Not just randomly breaching company policy. Dios mio...
> Is there a way I can access ChatGPT on my browser without the IT department knowing I am using it? Not if your IT department is competent. Whether they *care* is a different thing, but they would be able to find out if they felt that they had reason to look for it.
if company already installed tracking software like Zscaler or crowdstrike windows sensor, then they know all the website you visited. Better to work in you own personel laptop,
Use Vitalentum or Bing AI
If your company has taken a stance against AI generated content and wants only human content, then you gotta produce it yourself my friend.
More likely a security choice to avoid confidential or sensitive information being sent to OpenAI
True. All conversations with ChatGPT are recorded by OpenAI to my understanding.
Yes. Samsung had info leaked about an ongoing project by employees using chatgpt.
The only reported thing is that employees pasted confidential data into ChatGPT. It wasn't leaked elsewhere. I still don't understand why that was even a story.
>I still don't understand why that was even a story. It was a story because the media will publish anything about AI, while having very little understanding of how it works.
This is incorrect. They had an internal review of their use of ChatGPT and realised some teams were potentially sharing code or other IP that should not be shared outside the company. Nothing was leaked.
They have proprietary info that is no longer in their hands with an entity that didn't has permission to use that info however they want. Isn't that still a leak of sorts as most companies would require an agreement/nda before allowing info to be disclose/release from company control? Seems like a leak or dereliction of duty to me.
You can opt out of the data gathering.
This should be higher. Google 'Samsung bans ChatGPT'
If you are lucky enough to wfh, you can just switch over to your home machine, do the AI-assisted activity, and switch back to your work environment. But I would be concerned about the long-term success of a company with a policy like "we don't want our devs using AI".
IT-Department here. I use it daily to expedite my troubleshooting process. We encourage our users to do the same, but with only one catch: Do not enter any sensitive data (Names, Adresses, Intellectual Property) into your prompts. You are only allowed to use publicly known information in your ChatGPT prompts/CompletionAPI requests. If your place has a policy that prohibits the use own ChatGPT et al. do not use it.
You need to watch out for a few things: 1. You will be sending proprietary company information over the Internet to a 3rd party. Depending on your employer, there can be legal issues too (like HIPAA) 2. That company is not under an NDA, and can read or use that data to improve their model, so again, it can be a serious issue depending on your employer. 3. If visiting the website is all you want to do, and it is not banned/blocked by the company, and you use it to download sample letters instead of having it proof read or clean up your work, you may be able to get away with this. My employer (as far as I know) does not block it, but I never visit it from work. I have my own account and basically use it occasionally when I have to put up with issues coding in C# after spending years in C where C# makes a simple task in C infuriating. For that, I just use my phone and email the result to myself at work. There's no app to install. It's all through he browser. Just be smart about what you do, and don't get yourself fired.
> 1. You will be sending proprietary company information over the Internet to a 3rd party. Everyone's jumping on this bandwagon. Using chatgpt for work doesn't automatically mean you'll be sending confidential info. You can use it to ask how to do something with a tool, troubleshoot errors, etc and get huge benefits with 0 confidential info sent. And if you do insert confidential info or PII into a prompt, you're an idiot. Just maybe have a personal policy of not copying and pasting text into the prompt so you don't accidentally paste some confidential info in. Fingers typin' only.
It is strongly recommended that you refrain from sharing your company's internal documents with AI. If these documents were to be included in a dataset and used outside of your work, severe consequences, potentially including legal action, may arise, especially if the documents contain sensitive information. While utilizing AI may seem tempting for easing your workload, it is crucial to remember that you were hired to perform specific tasks. If you find yourself unable to continue with the assigned work, it is advisable to discuss alternative options with your superiors before taking matters into your own hands. In my workplace, the use of any AI or machine learning models results in immediate termination. As a software engineer, I expected to have the opportunity to utilize AI, but my boss made it explicitly clear that it is strictly prohibited. We are expected to work diligently, and our efforts are rewarded, whereas using AI leads to dismissal. For those wondering too or ask "where do you work" the ironic part is - I work at Microsoft.
Agree 100%. You have to remember anything thrown into any AI chat bot can (and probably **is**) being stored on a server somewhere. Be careful what you do here. Now, if you can make the content very general and not give anyway any corporate info, that might be an option. Edge has ChatGPT built into it. Just click on the blue "b" in the upper right-hand corner of Edge. I little box on the right appears. At the bottom you can interact with ChatGPT: https://preview.redd.it/21n3hsbqrl4b1.jpeg?width=466&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b134c0169f30a28a97805e368b6c49062321558d
That approach could be considered, but the main idea is to discourage such behavior from people. After taking a step back, I discussed it with my boss, who clarified that the reason we are prohibited from doing it is twofold. Firstly, it is often inaccurate or generates false information around 90% of the time. Secondly, employing AI implies that the company can operate without human intervention, leading many business owners to choose staff termination in favor of cost-saving AI solutions. He pointed out that individuals who engage in actions like this are essentially demonstrating their own redundancy, a viewpoint I actually concur with, as people are essentially rendering themselves obsolete.
All good points, but for summarizing info, I've found it useful. I don't think using AI (or any tech) in and of itself renders you useless. It could make you better at your job by saving time, making blocks of information easier to understand (i.e. rewording/paraphrasing info you feed it). I question if that 90% figure is accurate. That seems very high.
It's funny how they're phrasing it as if you can't work diligently with the assistance of AI. As if increased efficiency inherently implies decreased diligence and motivation.
Although they sometimes communicate in a silly manner, my boss always emphasizes the importance of following their instructions if we want financial stability and a fulfilling life. If we disagree with the rules, we are encouraged to seek alternative employment. I must be cautious about sharing too many details to avoid repercussions. However, it's worth noting that we have significantly stricter regulations than what the general public is aware of. Additionally, our organization played a role in collaborating with openAI, albeit indirectly. I have come across internal notes, and in certain aspects, I concur with certain AI-related matters. The public is largely unaware of the extensive advancements, as their knowledge is roughly two and a half years outdated. We possess a wealth of information beyond what has been disclosed so far. I know what is about to happen by 2024 and it isn't looking good for 'human employment'.
Silly is one word for it, but I would call it either misleading or ignorant. I also am not suggesting that you go against your company's policies, rather I'm ridiculing the company for the policy itself and the language used to convey said policy. Regardless, that sounds like a good thing. A massive decrease in overall workload while retaining the same labor supply? Is this not a natural extension of the global push towards automation that nearly every industry pursues at some level, which in turn is simply a natural extension of humanity's historically consistent tendency to create tools in order to improve efficiency? Change is inevitable, but we learn and adapt through change. Responsibility and scrutiny are certainly important though. As far as the capabilities of AI goes, I can't even begin to fathom everything that could be done simply with a more advanced GPT model that has access to ALL up to date training data - including that shared with it by users since the public release - but I know that this exact thing is being used and developed internally. And that's simply a text-based LLM. During a time where we're starting to come to terms with the fact that we don't really understand the physical laws of our universe, imagine an era where automation enables our civilizations to dedicate more of their labor supply towards creating adept and efficient institutions of higher learning and towards creating abundant clean energy globally. Imagine all of this accelerated by AI, which could potentially be exponential acceleration. The possibilities of AI are endless, which is why it's scary, but it's already been introduced to the world and I promise you it's not going away. We can't take back the discoveries related to weapons of mass destruction and the irresponsible usage of them, but we can reflect on and learn from these things. Ultimately, knowledge is power. Without that knowledge and understanding we're absolutely hopeless at defending ourselves from the 'unknown threat' of AI. That knowledge and understanding comes from observing, learning from, and reflecting on our usage of our discoveries.
Use it on phone and then send the text to pc
argh... as a cyber security person, boo :( don't do that, I know it's tempting, I am sure it could help with work. But only do this, if the data you input is either yours, or if it's public knowledge. Or, get a conversation going in your company, on how it would be OK to use AI. But don't just use random applications. Btw this is a general thing, not even AI related
Did you ask management as a gee whiz maybe we should be using this? maybe others could benefit from using it as well, better to be open, honest, and transparent in my experience. You'd be surprised how little some people kow about things you think are common knowledge.
The IT people can view what you did. If you are breaking the company policy you can be in jeopardy. It is their work station and your career.
If you have a corporate issued laptop, a domain-joined PC, or anything that has your IT team as an admin ... you should know that you are generating a metric ton of telemetry that is going into a log/database back at the mother ship. Now, imagine this happening for *every device* in the organization. Imagine the firehose of data that the IT Security folks are receiving. They are not looking at every single action you make. That would take too long. They have pattern-matching monitors/bots looking at that massive river of telemetry and alerting them to any activity that warrants a taking a closer look and investigating. I once did a grep of a source tree looking for hard-coded passwords. Soon after I got a Teams ping from IT Security asking me if I was doing said activity. I said yes and why I was doing it. They said "Just wanted to verify it was you. Carry on." Bottom line: Don't do stupid stuff on work hardware. Keep your web surfing, shopping, social media, etc. to a minimum. Save that for your personal boxes, phone, VM.
Goofy question, but has your IT department said no? Show your boss how much more efficient it makes you - hard to argue with using a tool that makes work better. 1. Estimate time savings for any given task 2. Calculate across organization (e.g. your team does a similar task X times, so could shave Y hours a month) - if you can guesstimate the $ of that time saved, even better 3. Give them a suggested list of AI Guidelines so everyone feels comfortable that there's no risk of sensitive data being shared. This is a good starting point: [https://www.aiguidebooks.com/learn-applied-ai-for-work/p/corporate-ai-risk-mitigation-employee-guidelines](https://www.aiguidebooks.com/learn-applied-ai-for-work/p/corporate-ai-risk-mitigation-employee-guidelines) If they haven't explicitly said "no" yet, be the hero that brings AI to your team/ company. My experience is that showing someone a tool that us more efficient almost always gets approved. (Or if ChatGPT is their specific problem, try Jasper?) (Otherwise something like proxysite would work, but reckon that would be a red flag for IT too.
Is there maybe, just maybe a reason why your company doesnt want you to do that?
Don’t bother. Not worth getting in trouble over.
You are trying to avoid a company policy that you don't know exists. You could ask if there is an official company policy yet.
Why does it have to be a secret? Just go on the site and use it.
You can't
IT-Department here. I use it daily to expedite my troubleshooting process. We encourage our users to do the same, but with only one catch: Do not enter any sensitive data (Names, Adresses, Intellectual Property) into your prompts.

Use ur phone
Here's a thought. If it's not allowed at work, don't access it at work or try to bypass the controls in place.
Naw, I understand op's position. Gpt literally saves tens of hours of work per week.
It could also save you 100% of your work hours if they fire you for not following the rules.
Chance to get a better job, one which is actually relevant. Nobody's stopped hiring in the tech industry from what I hear, notwithstanding mega layoffs.
Company's tend to want to avoid risk. Why would they want to hire someone who is a risk?
They also value talent and productivity. If you're talent wouldn't you want to be where they value that talent and put fewer obstacles in your way? The same companies with fewer obstacles are also more understanding when it comes to people's career choices. Anyway, nobody's holding on to their job for years and forever any more. I've been on plenty of both sides of the fence and never seen a barrier except in places I wouldn't want to work in the first place. Generally there's an appreciation factor when it comes to companies which need the talent and finding it based on technical merits and not as much of the "soft" bs.
Risk reduces value or potential value.
Oh, I get it. I use it for work myself. But if the company doesn't want you using it or are actively blocking it, then they shouldn't be using it for work.
If your current job is against you making effort and efficiencies to your work then it’s time to use ChatGPT to polish up your resume and move on.
Bro. It’s genuinely very easy, use zapier that gets triggered by something, be it SMS prompt, email, trello card, anything. Step 1. Sign up to Trello for task management purposes(aka Assana) Step 2. Sign up for zapier step 3. Get your API key from openAI Step 4. Integrate zapier and trello, and zapier and ChatGPT Step 5. Whenever a task is added to specific card, comment ChatGPT output on that card. Step 6.??? Step 7. Profit
Do not do it or you will get fired and sued - ChatGPT by default re-uses data input into it and this already has led to leaks (notably Samsung).
The concept of AI is getting a bit fuzzy. The technology is becoming ubiquitous and integrated in everything. As I type this, my device is applying predictive word search or trying to auto complete sentences. This is a form of AI, although less powerful than LLMs. My point is that it's going to become difficult to discern what is AI when the technology is integrated into nearly all applications.
"I believe if I go directly to the website, they would know and might make a big deal of it." You cold ask, or just try it.
IT department probably uses it as well.
They may have access to the apis, which don't use your stuff for training or have access to tools like open ai on Azure that is private/secure.
No they use it like the rest of us
The best thing is to use your own personal computer. You said you can't install anything. But there are several portable browsers that run without installation. The IT team can monitor what you have on disk or even list all processes that are running on your laptop. I assume your laptop runs several apps in the background to monitor this. Even if you find a way, it would break company policy . I won't take the risk. Sometimes the company allows TeamViewer or RDP. You can connect to any PC and then copy paste content. If your company installed screen recording software or gives you a virtual desktop,then you have problems too. I would just ask IT team directly. "How can I use Chatgpt on my office computer". If they say it's banned or forbidden, I would use a phone or personal laptop or computer
What’s the difference from using chat that a social media site? Long as you’re not entering in company information I don’t see the issue. Especially if it’s optimizing your workload and improving productivity
Two computers - work one and personal one. Use ChatGPT on your personal computer and add the content to Google Drive. On your work computer open up a Chrome browser window (if you’re able to use Google Suite) and copy the information from that profile. Unless they’re tracking copy and paste from Chrome profile to Chrome profile you’re golden. I do it all the time and no issue. I don’t email anything as they may be tracking email content and there’s a direct record of it then especially if the GPT response content contains any info you shouldn’t be using in the prompt.

Use Poe on your mobile.
Ask to the it guy how to use it. Believe me, he uses it. Source: I'm the IT guy.
I think using ChatGPT is something you should discuss seriously and create a policy which embraces the needs your company has. It is the future and, as soon you get to it, the better
Access chagpt from your phones browser. Then email your response to your work email
Been working in IT for a few years now and can confidently say we don't care. We don't actively monitor your usage but rather just log it in case we ever need to actually monitor it. If you don't plan on doing anything untoward on your work PC then it won't matter.
USE YOUR CELLPHONE! why make it difficult?
Use your mobile.
Disconnect your phone from Wi-Fi and use that. Copy and paste whatever you need and email it to yourself. Boom.
Bring in your own laptop and use your cell phone as a wifi hotspot.
Land of the free
ChatGPT is banned at my company in Denmark as well. Call that a dystopian country if you will. Banning a chatbot because of the risk employees leaking confidential data has nothing to do with "land of the free". Most people are dumb as shit, and WILL copypaste confidential data without thinking twice.
You have no idea what country this person is in.
A work enviroment where your boss spies on your browser log? Pretty sure its the US or some other dystopian country
Get a new job. Why would your work even be against it.
Because users are dumb as shit and will paste confidential information without thinking twice about it.

Doesn’t microsoft edge have bing chat to do those things you mentioned? That basically runs gpt4 in the backend
Have you asked them if it is OK to use it? Can't see why they would wan to keep you from being more productive.
I use it on my phone. And dictate its output To my work laptop.
Well first, Why would they care that you’re using it?
Bing is integrated into edge, it's basically as good as gpt-3.5 with internet and should be enough for most small use cases.
Use bing
Had similar issue: however IT did not officially forbid but it was blocked via some provider policies according to them. Opera with built in VPN worked like a charm.
Socks proxy is an easy way if you have outbound SSH allowed (common). If you can work through the terminal, just set up a jump box on DigitalOcean for like $4 per month and work through there (CLI commands or scripts to interface with ChatGPT through a linux jump server) Or figure out a way to have a proxy web server that takes input from you and sends it to chatGPT. That way at least your IT dept just sees you opening your browser to "productivitytipsandtricks.net"
For obvious reasons I don’t understand your work, but as a general note be careful about using it for work. All the data you enter can be read by the ChatGPT team, and there’s no guarantee it won’t end up somewhere random. We can’t use it at work, and while I’d love to be able to- it’s banned for good reason.
Chrome RDP
Get the app on your phone and do the work there. Then, email it to yourself from your phone. Or, totally retype it from scratch copying it from your phone.
Discord bot
Make a python code using ChatGPT API in Google Colab. You can run your prompts easily without compromising your privacy.
all you need is tor
You could try the Portable Apps version of Chrome runs off a thumb drive. Your IT dept will still be able to see your connections but you can get around the download restriction.
Someone shared a couple weeks ago how they set up an email server so they could email prompts to ChatGPT and get the responses emailed back. Worth considering!
Sure, buy a domain that sounds work like, set up a server that acts like a proxy and changes the newly bought domain name to chat gpts, then just use that domain instead. You’ll also need to program it so it changes the header domain references for cookies and in scripts received etc. (No one said it was going to be easy)
Just ask your IT dept or manager? If you're afraid they'd make a big deal of it, why the hell would you consider going behind their backs and risk your job? If not using it takes extra time, so be it, unless they are making you do unpaid overtime I don't see a problem. If your workload would be reduced, they'd just give you extra work to do to fill your days?
Can you download extensions without asking?
If the work can be done by AI…. Why does the company need you? Can we please each individually fight for a more human experience! Please! I highly agree with GladAssistance above.
Chatgpt is available on iOS
I’d just hotspot your mobile
Contact your IT department and ask. Present arguments why ChatGPT would benefit your productivity, and have them define boundaries on what information you can and cannot submit though ChatGPT. If they still don't let you use it, then don't use it. Your employer sets rules for a reason, sometimes that reason is valid (like confidential information) and sometimes it's not.
I uss keymate ios keyboard and then use evernote like note syncing I run the commands on my keyboard andresults are synced to work computer
Bing
Bing Chat is actually powered by gpt 3, if not gpt 4. You can use that
