Eh, I can think of some examples for sure, I think there are still a lot of people like this.

* Bookkeeper & planning approval within city government

* Doctor/dentist/optometry receptionist & scheduler (both at independent offices and at major hospitals)

* Front desk staff at almost every company with a physical front desk

* University administrative staff (there can be a lot more of these people than you'd think)

* DMV workers

* Probably lots of teachers

Those jobs all will use other software as well, but a lot of their job is making and filling forms on a computer, where they are likely needing to use MS Word fairly often to write things up.

A lot of these have to do with other peoples data. Are we feeding these machines social security numbers and other PII?

It's not any practical problem if it's not used for training and product improvement. It's also not a legal problem if contracts have such provisions and are compatible with laws in relevant jurisdictions.

I hope not, but… Yes, probably is happening regularly everywhere it’s not explicitly regulated
