by Joe Lonsdale, CEO and co-founder of 8VC, discusses whether authors are in danger of being replaced by ChatGPT after Amazon offers over 200 chatbot-authored books for sale.
According to a person familiar with the matter, JPMorgan Chase & Co. is restricting employees from using ChatGPT.
The bank did not restrict the use of the popular artificial intelligence chatbot because of any specific incident, the person said. It could not be determined how many employees used the chatbot or for which functions they used it.
ChatGPT has grown in popularity since it was released by startup OpenAI in November, reaching one million users just days after its launch. People have used the chatbot to automate tasks at work and school, raising questions about how AI could replace some white-collar workers. However, ChatGPT is not always reliable as it sometimes responds with misinformation or incorrect answers to prompts.

OpenAI did not respond to a request for comment on Wednesday.

In addition to JPMorgan, other organizations have also blocked access to ChatGPT. Last week, Verizon Communications Inc. suspended the chatbot from its corporate systems, saying it could lose ownership of customer information or source code that its employees entered into ChatGPT. Public schools in New York City banned the chatbot from their Internet networks and school devices in January.
Employees of some companies have used ChatGPT to write emails and research topics. Some of the employees say the chatbot helps them work faster, while others try not to be left behind as technology advances.

After OpenAI’s release of ChatGPT, some tech companies have attempted to launch similar products. Earlier this month, Google rolled out the Conversational AI Service Bard for testers as the company tries to keep up with OpenAI.
