# ChatGPT

**ChatGPT** is the generative-AI product — built by **OpenAI**, launched publicly in **late 2022** — whose release, roughly **three-and-a-half years before** this article's 2026 publication, catalyzed the current era of AI integration into daily work and life. It is the reference point for the baseline generative-AI literacy the source assumes (see [[prereq-generative-ai-basics-d77]]); without knowing what tools like ChatGPT fundamentally do, the distinction between conversational output, [[concept-thinkslop]], and [[concept-autonomous-agentic-operations]] loses its grounding. Canonical: openai.com/chatgpt.
