ChatGPT Launched

On November 30, OpenAI releases ChatGPT. Within five days, a million people are using it. Within two months, 100 million — the fastest technology adoption in human history. It isn't the most powerful model, but it's the first one anyone can talk to. Teachers panic. Writers worry. Coders marvel. Executives scramble. For the first time, AI isn't an abstract concept debated in labs — it's sitting on everyone's laptop, writing their emails, explaining quantum physics, and occasionally making things up with complete confidence.
