I don't understand why they have done this? Like, how did the conversations go when it was pointed out to them what a pretty darn bad idea it was to recommend connecting chatgpt directly to a SQL database?

I know we are supposed to assume incompetence over malice, but no one is that incompetent. They must have had the conversations, and chose to do it anyway.

Why is this unreasonable to you? I can imagine using this, just run it with read access and check the sql if the results are interesting.

Even read only. You are giving access to your data to a black box API.

If it's on Azure anyway I don't see the big deal, especially if you are an enterprise and so buying it via azure instead of directly.

Perhaps they plan on having ChatGPT make a quick copy of your database, for your convenience of course.
