Quoting Greg Brockman
at openai, many people hook their chatgpt up to slack. people really don't like when a coworker's chatgpt contacts them asking for help with a task, even when they'd be perfectly happy doing that same work if asked by that coworker. reinforces how much people care about human relationships and helping each other, and want AI to give time back — or enhance time together — rather than become a layer separating people. — Greg Brockman , President and Co-Founder, OpenAI Tags: ai-ethics , ai-misuse , generative-ai , openai , ai , llms

Greg Brockman, President and Co-Founder of OpenAI, observed that employees at the company connect ChatGPT to Slack, but coworkers dislike receiving task requests from a colleague’s AI assistant—even when they would willingly assist the colleague directly. This highlights how much people value human relationships and mutual help, and it suggests AI should be designed to give time back or enhance time together, rather than acting as a impersonal intermediary. The insight underscores the social boundaries emerging around AI use in workplace communication.
