THE PROMPT
OpenAI gave eligible researchers a free year of ChatGPT, but even $0 checkout needs a card. You’re the lab treasurer: welcome the “free” hire in one line.
⚠️ Provisional verdict — machine ranks stand, but the human sample is too thin to call the taste gap. The crowd number below is display-only until enough sealed ballots land.
