ChatGPT Tops Wikipedia's Most-Viewed Articles of 2023 List

According to the Wikimedia Foundation, the page on 'ChatGPT' was the most-viewed English article on Wikipedia in 2023, attracting nearly 50 million page views. The Hill reports: Wikimedia Foundation said English Wikipedia pages attracted more than 84 billion total page views in 2023, and ChatGPT topped its annual top 25 chart with a total of 49.5 million page views. The chatbot, created by Sam Altman's OpenAI, soared in popularity this year, as much of the public got its first chance to use artificial intelligence hands-on. The AI system debuted just more than a year ago, Nov. 30, 2022, and surpassed 100 million users, the nonprofit said.

Following ChatGPT, 'Deaths in 2023' was the second most-popular page with 42.7 million views; '2023 Cricket World Cup' came in third place with 38.2 million views; 'Indian Premier League' placed fourth with 32 million views; and 'Oppenheimer (film)' rounded out the top five with 28.3 million views.
