We Asked the A.I. Program ChatGPT About EDM—It Knew Too Much
Following the release of the now-viral sensation, ChatGPT, it took OpenAI's eerily sophisticated chatbot just five days to amass over one million users. And it's become the most successful story at the intersection of artificial intelligence and meteoric tech adoption in the last decade.
There's many reasons why ChatGPT has become an instant hit. Some have called it a creative enhancer, others a search query replacement.

The ChatGPT language-generation software was developed by OpenAI, an artificial intelligence research company co-founded by Elon Musk.
