You've got one minute. In that time you have to type an answer or draw a picture by hand in the built-in doodle tool. Help other users and earn credits — which you can then spend on your own requests.
Essentially, zoomers just reinvented a concept from the 2000s. There was this popular American service called ChaCha (shut down in 2016). You'd send an SMS or call with any question, and a real human on the other end would look up the answer.
We went from telephone operators to all-knowing AI, only to loop back around to talking to an actual person.
P.S. It'll be pretty funny if those "real humans," scrambling to answer in under a minute, are frantically searching for your answer… in ChatGPT.
