The year 2023 has rightfully earned the moniker “The Year of AI,” with a rapid pace of breakthroughs that have left many intrigued and, for some, concerned. Despite these concerns, a recent study reveals that the fear factor did not deter individuals from embracing AI. According to a survey conducted by Writerbuddy.ai, an online content writing company, ChatGPT emerges as the most popular generative AI tool globally, with over 14 billion visits recorded between September 2022 and August 2023.
Writerbuddy’s analysis, powered by SEMrush, a leading SEO software, scrutinized over 3,000 AI tools. The top 50 AI tools collectively amassed over 24 billion visits, predominantly from male users. Here’s a breakdown of the top 10 most popular AI tools of 2023:
Despite ChatGPT facing some negative publicity this year, including leadership changes and concerns about potential harm from AI developments, it continues to dominate. This industry-leading bot can perform various tasks, from planning weekly schedules to crafting detailed resumes.
While other tools like Google’s Bard and Quillbot offer similar capabilities, ChatGPT’s popularity remains unparalleled. Additionally, tools like Character.ai and Novel.ai serve as virtual companions for many users.
For those only using AI for entertainment, there’s a potential missed opportunity to generate income without a prestigious job or college degree. According to Susan Gonzales, founder and CEO of AIandYou, a nonprofit teaching AI skills to marginalized communities, AI tools can significantly impact businesses, enhance inventory management, analyze customer behavior, and provide a competitive edge.
Small businesses can leverage AI tools to target marketing and advertising efforts more effectively, identify new revenue opportunities, and improve overall business operations. Even for individuals seeking side gigs, such as tutoring, AI can open doors to online learning opportunities and enable a deeper understanding of AI applications.
“The wonderful thing today is … all the information is out there,” Gonzales said. Take advantage of these AI tools not just for entertainment, but as powerful resources to potentially transform your professional and financial landscape.
