Abstract: A new discourse has proliferated in teaching and learning committee meetings--Large Language Models (LLMs), most commonly Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer (ChatGPT). ChatGPT 'went viral' across HEIs during 2022 and it could be said that for academics, this has been more 'shock' than 'awe'. A shock that this Artificial Intelligence (AI) software can generate semi-credible coursework, and that students have swiftly enacted their agency. In this paper we take an 'employability' lens on ChatGPT and contribute to a growing body of research on AI within HEIs. Through understanding how employers and their employees are adopting LLMs in their workplace. Our Qualtrics survey of practicing engineers (N = 86) was undertaken over a four-week period during the period June-July 2023 and provides a 'snapshot' in time. That is, given the rapidity of how ChatGPT is metamorphosing, our data and subsequent conclusions are attributable to a version ChatGPT 3-3.5 in use during this period.
