Shouldn't the policy stopping you from using Grammarly at work also be stopping you from using ChatGPT?
2 comments

Because of the step change in functionality, ChatGPT is not banned. However I am prohibited from using ChatGPT outputs in certain contexts. Unfortunately, Grammarly and ChatGPT are under different application classifications.
I think the danger is more on what you input to Chatgpt... but true is same for Grammerly as all text typed in the web is sent to them right?
The difference is in the value returned. Punching queries into a third party search engine is also risky. If that search engine knew who you worked for, it could extract what you were working on and potentially how competent you were at it.

Now try telling engineers to not use google.

On the flip side, grammarly is often positioned by corporate security as a nice to have feature which can be replaced by offline spellcheck and internal web docs.

Probably can’t install chrome extensions, but the openai site isn’t blocked, yet.
