Since artificial intelligence advancements have been happening quickly this year and have some people worried, many have called 2023 the year of AI.
A recent study, however, shows that fear did not deter individuals from adopting AI. An online article writing startup called Writerbuddy.ai recently conducted a poll and found that ChatGPT is the most popular generative AI tool globally, with over 14 billion visits between September 2022 and August 2023.
Using SEMrush, a well-known SEO tool, Writerbuddy examined over 3,000 artificial intelligence products to identify the most popular tools of the year. Over 24 billion people visited the top 50 AI tools combined, with men making up the majority of these visits.

Users of ChatGPT continue to use the generative tool amid some negative publicity this year, including Sam Altman’s leadership change and possibly dangerous AI advancements. The top-performing bot in the business can do a wide range of jobs, like creating a thorough CV and organising your weekly schedule.
Even while they can also summarise and paraphrase text, some of the other generative tools on the list, such as Google’s Bard and Quillbot, aren’t as well-known as Open AI’s chatbot. Additionally, a lot of people use programmes like Character.ai and Novel.ai as virtual friends.
According to Susan Gonzales, founder and CEO of AIandYou, a nonprofit that teaches AI skills to people from excluded areas, if you’re simply using AI for entertainment, you might be missing out on the chance to generate money without a fancy job or college degree.
Let’s say you own a small business or are a freelancer. Gonzales stated to CNBC Make It in July that AI solutions can “help improve [your] business, improve inventory management, analyze customer behavior or gain competitive intelligence,” Gonzales told CNBC Make It in July. “Small businesses can use AI tools to target their marketing and advertising efforts more effectively … They can identify new revenue opportunities.”
Additionally, AI can assist you in finding a second gig, such as tutoring.
“There are many online learning opportunities to understand how AI works, which then could help [someone] possibly become an AI tutor, or to do some AI training to pass it on to the next generation,” Gonzales said. “The wonderful thing today is … all the information is out there.”
