If we say the ChatGPT launch was the beginning of the AI launch in ~2024
ChatGPT did not launch in 2024. OpenAI publicly released ChatGPT on November 30, 2022.
Full reasoning
This sentence anchors the timeline calculation to an incorrect date. OpenAI's own research paper says "ChatGPT was released to the public on November 30, 2022 as a 'research preview'" and its appendix timeline lists "2022-11-30 Public launch of ChatGPT". Britannica likewise states that ChatGPT "was released on November 30, 2022". So describing the ChatGPT launch as being in "~2024" is factually wrong by about two years, which also affects the subsequent timeline reasoning built on that date.
