A MAN with four full time jobs says he uses ChatGPT to slash his workload and his bosses have no idea.
The AI language model reached 100million users just two months after it was first launched in November last year.

Since then, that figure has grown steadily with many people using it for lengthy pieces of code and essays.
And it can even hold conversations, learning from things that you’ve said.
Many people are now using the AI to turbocharge their working situation and make life easier for themselves, reports Vice.
The idea had become popular during the pandemic, when working from home became normalized, making the scheme easier to pull off.
Ben – who asked not to use his real name – took on a second job after ChatGPT slashed his workload.
He helps financial technology companies market new products; the job involves creating reports, storyboards, and presentations, all of which involve writing.
The Toronto based worker said there was “no way” that he could have done his job two times over on his own.
Ben said: “[ChatGPT is] the only reason I got my job this year.

“ChatGPT does like 80 percent of my job if I’m being honest.”
And Ben even used it to generate cover letters to apply for jobs.
When Ben’s bosses ask him to create a story for an upcoming product release, he will explain the context and provide a template to ChatGPT, which then creates an outline for him and helps fill out the sections.
Ben says the AI bot knows his title and the parameters of his duties and has become even better at understanding the context since the launch of GPT-4, the latest edition.
Occasionally, he even asks ChatGPT to craft responses to Slack messages from his manager.
In such cases, he requests that ChatGPT write the message in all lowercase, so that it appears more organic to the boss.
Another worker took it further.
Ohio-based technology worker claims he upped his number of jobs from two to four after he started to integrate ChatGPT into his work process.
“I think five would probably just be overkill,” he added.
