That could ultimately put your job in danger.
Have you checked how your colleagues are using it? I do think that would be a worthwhile thing to do.
I have found it immensely useful. It has constructed difficult letters for me and prepared presentations, and I can tweak it if I need to put it in a particular context.
I've never used it with Co-Pilot - never felt the need - but to be honest, I've not bothered to use it to date because I want to keep control of what I'm doing. That may be just me worrying about something that turns out not to be any problem at all, but that's the mental block I have!
I hope that helps, Paul, it's well meant.

Maybe he knows best in the hypothetical use cases for his own job? Just because “an employer” is caught on the hype train does not mean it is automatically the case it will be useful.
A mere few years ago I was aware of a series of events by supposedly serious consultancies, aimed at the private and public sectors, telling us how the world’s problems will be solved on the blockchain. Turns out non-fungible tokens and jpeg images of apes did not in fact solve the worlds problems.
All of the people I know “embracing” AI happen to be the people with the least knowledge or expertise in their sectors, for whom it offers a shortcut to - as you suggest - produce vaguely viable letters or presentations that pass the sniff test to the untrained observer. Complex problems always requires experts to both guide and test the veracity of the outputs.
