    Wah, this news about ChatGPT overtaking Netflix really hits close to home in Singapore. Just a little while ago, everyone was all in on streaming, but now you see folks everywhere, from students to execs, fiddling with AI tools. It's not just a passing fad; it’s genuinely changing how we approach problem-solving and even creative work. My mates in fintech are constantly exploring how to incorporate this tech, and even our government’s pushing for AI literacy. It's quite mind-boggling how quickly things accelerate here, though sometimes I wonder if we’re always ready for the societal shifts that come with such rapid adoption.
