Why is ChatGPT so Popular?

The main reason why so many people use ChatGPT, and why Microsoft ended up acquiring it, is because of its reliability and versatility. Since you can ask it any question, many people have found ways to incorporate it into their daily lives. Since ChatGPT is the first of its kind, it also inspired other similar chatbots to start popping up across the internet. 

This period is widely considered the age of AI because of how widespread and popular these AI platforms have become.
