The 10 most popular AI tools of 2023

For many, 2023 will be remembered as the year of artificial intelligence, as it was a year where AI breakthroughs increased at a record rate, though this development also became a source of concern for some.

The world's number one: ChatGPT

Nevertheless, these concerns did not stop people from staying close to artificial intelligence. According to a new survey conducted by online content writing company Writerbuddy.ai, ChatGPT, which received more than 14 billion visits between September 2022 and August 2023, is the world's most popular generative AI tool.

Writerbuddy analyzed more than 3 thousand AI tools using SEMrush, a popular SEO software, to determine the most used tools of the year. In total, the top 50 AI tools received more than 24 billion visits, and most of these came from male users.

Here are the 10 most popular AI tools by visitor traffic:

ChatGPT maintains its popularity despite the developments following the firing of Sam Altman this year. The industry-leading bot can perform a range of tasks, from planning your weekly schedule to writing a detailed resume for you.

Other generative tools on the list, such as Google's Bard and Quillbot, have similar capabilities as they can summarize and interpret text, but they have not yet gained as much popularity as OpenAI's chatbot. Tools like Character.ai and Novel.ai, on the other hand, are used by many as virtual companions.

According to Susan Gonzales, founder and CEO of AIandYou, a non-profit organization that teaches AI skills to people from marginalized communities, if you are using AI only for entertainment purposes, you may be missing out on the opportunity to make money without a fancy job or university degree.

Let's say you are a freelancer or a small business owner. In an interview with CNBC Make It in July, Gonzales said that AI tools could help you improve your business, optimize inventory management, analyze customer behavior, or gain competitive intelligence, and noted the following:

"Small businesses can use AI tools to more effectively target their marketing and advertising efforts and capture new revenue opportunities."

If you are looking for a side hustle like tutoring, AI can help you with that too. "There are many online learning opportunities to understand how AI works, which could help someone potentially become an AI tutor or get some AI training to pass on to the next generation," Gonzales said.
