Starting door for Module 1

Open chat.com. This short address currently redirects to ChatGPT.

ChatGPT is named here as a low-friction starting door, not as a recommendation over other assistants. The durable course lessons do not depend on it.

OpenAI currently says people in the UK can try ChatGPT without creating an account. Without an account, only one conversation is available at a time and it is not saved. Creating or signing into an account may take additional time and may involve an email code or another verification step. OpenAI says phone verification is no longer required for ordinary ChatGPT account creation.
