OpenAI’s buzzy artificial-intelligence tool ChatGPT is reportedly helping people hold down multiple jobs while keeping employers in the dark.

Vice’s Motherboard interviewed several workers about how they were using ChatGPT in their daily work lives.

The workers’ experiences tie into the “overemployment” trend, sparked earlier in the pandemic when many workers capitalized on enforced remote work by taking on a secret second job. In the shift, white-collar workers took on multiple jobs to boost their income.

Ben, whose name was changed by Vice to preserve his anonymity, said he applied for a second job only after realizing he could use the AI tool at work. From Toronto, Ben helps financial-technology companies market new products. He told Vice that ChatGPT had helped him do his job faster and more efficiently, which left him with more time.
