When ChatGPT experiences even the briefest hiccup—a mere thirty-second delay in generating yet another mediocre haiku about productivity—the internet transforms into a digital Pompeii of despair. X becomes a wasteland of “Is ChatGPT down for everyone or just me?” posts, LinkedIn fills with thought leaders pontificating about “AI dependency,” and Reddit threads multiply like digital rabbits discussing backup AI solutions with the urgency typically reserved for REAL natural disasters.

But here’s the delicious irony that OpenAI’s executives are undoubtedly savoring from their ergonomic standing desks: every complaint, every panicked tweet, every desperate refresh of the ChatGPT interface is essentially a love letter written in the language of withdrawal symptoms. It’s Product/Market Fit validation so pure it could be bottled and sold as a startup elixir.

Consider the beautiful absurdity: millions of users simultaneously demonstrating that they’ve integrated an AI chatbot so thoroughly into their daily workflows that its absence triggers genuine existential crisis. Marketing departments worldwide would sacrifice their entire annual budget to achieve this level of user dependency. OpenAI gets it for free every time their servers decide to take an unscheduled coffee break.
