The Night Everything Changed
Three sleepless nights. That's how long it took to realize we were living through a revolution. Not the kind announced with fanfare, but the quiet kind that rewrites the rules while most of us sleep. Sitting alone with ChatGPT in those dark hours, something became clear: this wasn't just another tech upgrade. This was a conversation with something that felt disturbingly, thrillingly close to human. It helped with homework. Drafted business plans. Wrote poetry. And it did all this with an ease that should have been impossible. We've reached a peculiar moment in history. The machines we built to serve us have learned to think-or at least, to do something eerily similar. This isn't science fiction anymore. It's Tuesday afternoon, and you're asking an AI to explain quantum physics or write a breakup letter. The question isn't whether this technology will reshape our world. It's already happening. The real question is: how do we live and work alongside an intelligence that mirrors our own yet remains fundamentally alien?
