In the fast-paced work environment of today, time management is crucial. Tools that can streamline tasks and boost productivity are highly valued. Recent surveys conducted at FundamentalVR explored the use of AI tools, like OpenAI, by the internal team, highlighting the time-saving potential of large language models and showing how perceptions of these technologies have shifted over the first half of 2024. The findings offer a nuanced view of how this technology is impacting workflows.
The majority of respondents expressed a positive view of generative technology, with over 90% agreeing that these tools are beneficial in their work at FundamentalVR. This high level of satisfaction underscores its contribution to improving productivity, despite occasional imperfections in its results.
FundamentalVR decided to use OpenAI’s ChatGPT models through an Enterprise account after evaluating various LLM services. The choice was influenced by the privacy and security features available, including the ability to restrict the use of shared information in further training of the models. This approach ensures the safeguarding of client information, maintaining confidentiality and reducing the risk of intellectual property exposure.
The evolving opinions on the time-saving benefits of OpenAI reveal a balanced perspective on its effectiveness. While initial expectations of moderate efficiency gains have become more tempered over time, a consistent number of users continue to see significant advantages. This suggests that, despite its strengths, there is room for improvement in the technology.
Key challenges remain in improving the model’s understanding of context and its ability to generate long-form content. Addressing these issues could lead to even greater efficiency and expand the tool’s usefulness. By providing users with targeted training, it is possible to better exploit the capabilities of large language models, reducing the impact of current limitations.
The surveys show that FundamentalVR’s relationship with AI is both dynamic and complex, with clear benefits and distinct challenges. As the company continues to integrate AI into its workflows, it will be important to listen to user feedback and adapt accordingly. Continuous monitoring, user support, and technological improvements will be essential in maximising the advantages of large language models.
