Wikipedias MostViewed Articles Of 2023
Think about your online searches in 2023. Well, Wikipedia has the information. The Wikimedia Foundation, which oversees the free online encyclopedia, reported that the English Wikipedia had 84 billion hits this year. In particular, the most frequent articles focused on ChatGPT, the ubiquitous AI chatbot that has quickly made its way into fields as diverse as education, healthcare, law, and even religious discourse. OpenAI's ChatGPT was launched just over a year ago, sparking a debate about the prospects and potential risks of generative artificial intelligence, which was extensively documented on the Wikipedia page.
In the 2023 ranking, the second most popular article on Wikipedia was the annual death review, which maintained the high traffic seen in 2022 and 2021, ranking fourth and first, respectively. This year, there was a lot of interest in specific recordings of famous people, including Matthew Perry and Lisa Marie Presley.
The much-anticipated 2023 Cricket World Cup came third. For the first time since tracking began in 2015, a cricket-related article dominated the top 25 articles on Wikipedia.
