Not just burnout, opportunism features with several users I've spoken with. The level of ignorance surrounding ChatGPT is staggering.
One egregious use I know of was a developer who used it to write software to analyse a government dataset despite their department having put in place specific and targeted restrictions specifically against any such activities.
Their workaround was to use their private email to exfiltrate data and subsequently introduce the code.
Their rationale was that it didn't harm anyone and their ICT department would vet any code. They were not concerned about this private data showing up on the ChatGPT public log, nor were they concerned about the accuracy of their code.
I think that this is just the tip of the iceberg and I think it's going to take a serious data breach of identifying information before people lose their jobs over this type of misuse.
People have already lost jobs for this very behavior back in 2022. I remember reading news about Samsung managers even being sued by their employer because they fed secrets into ChatGPT. And if I remember correctly this serious breach was committed for the sole purpose of brushing up some emails.
What is the ChatGPT public log?
For a period the interactions you had with ChatGPT were public and a live stream was available.
At the time when I looked at it, there was an astonishing amount of non-english traffic, but that might have been due to the fact that my UTC+8 timezone in Perth is the same as mainland China.
I had a quick search just now to see if I could find a link, but all I can locate is posts about new privacy controls, so perhaps that "feature"went by the wayside at some point.
Could that have been a public live stream log of a different provider’s model?
I’d be astonished if that was OpenAI’s. Can’t find any articles, threads, or screenshots after extensive research (a minute of web searching). And didn’t hear anything at the time going back to December 2022.
I'm fairly certain that it was ChatGPT, but I'm going from memory. I have a hunch that I saw a Hacker News show and tell post.
Update: It was in my bookmarks.

Oh thank you! Very interesting.
Hope users of chatlogs[.]net (now defunct, spam redirects) realized they were conversing publicly!
That’s… not true at all.

Someone made an app using the OpenAI api, offered it for “free”, and scooped a bunch of users conversations (sort of. 89k isn’t that large) before getting shut down. That’s not at all what you were alleging.
Don't leave me hanging. Was the dev fired / sent to jail?
