ChatGPT was the most popular English-language Wikipedia entry in 2023, according to the Wikimedia Foundation.
The nonprofit tracks its highest-visited entries every year, which gives some insight into what's popular and trending.
The second-most popular article this year was the annual list of deaths, which collects entries for people of note who died during the year — this year including people like "Friends" star Matthew Perry and former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger.
The 2023 Cricket World Cup rounded out this year's top three articles. This is the first time cricket content has been popular enough to make the top articles list since Wikipedia began its annual tracking in 2015.
