Does your company have any considerations for feeding chatGPT source code? Would it not be safer to use a local LLM?

Not any more than feeding source code to Github. (I personally feel "source code" is very rarely the "secret sauce" of a company anyway). But where I work we not only have the blessing of the company, we are encouraged to use it because they've clearly seen the benefits it brings.

A local LLM would be preferrable all things equal, but in my experience for this kind of stuff, GPT-4 is just so much better than anything else available, let alone any local LLMs.

It's safe if you use the OpenAI API, or you have an enterprise chatgpt account - they have the same privacy guarantees as other cloud providers there.
