00:00Chat GPT turns three, and it has changed how people look things up.
00:05On November 30, 2022, OpenAI quietly dropped a little experiment onto the internet,
00:11a model called Chat GPT, which interacts in a conversational way.
00:16Cute, understated, like announcing a small meteor headed toward Earth.
00:21Within months, the chatbot had rewritten tech, business, and dinner table arguments everywhere.
00:26It's still sitting at the top of Apple's free app charts, lording over the App Store.
00:30Chat GPT didn't just go viral, it detonated an entire industry.
00:35Generative AI tools multiplied like gremlins fed after midnight,
00:38and everyone wondered whether the emdash would survive the robot uprising.

01:19To be fair, plenty of AI optimists are cheering while bracing for whatever comes next.
01:25Even the biggest boosters admit generative AI is basically a cosmic draft that's constantly being rewritten.
01:31No final version, just endless updates.
01:33Wall Street is having the time of its life as Nvidia has seen its stock skyrocket,
01:38979% since ChatGPT's launch.
01:42Big tech's top 7 now make up 35% of the S&P 500.
