2023 is nearing its end, so it’s time to look back and review what happened throughout the year; and on this occasion, there is a lot to remember. In the technology sector, for example, ChatGPT and similar projects such as Google Bard gave a lot of talk and everything indicates that 2023 will be remembered as the year of generative AI.

And what better indicator of what was the most important thing of the year than Google searches, which continue to be the main method for learning and discovering what’s happening in the world . After all, it is accessible to tens of millions of people from their mobile phones or computers.

The most searched on Google

As we have commented before, it is not surprising that ChatGPT is one of the most searched terms in Spain in 2023; What the reader might not expect is that it has even surpassed the general and municipal elections held this year. Indeed, ‘ChatGPT’ is the most searched term when it comes to news, with ‘Elections 2023‘ in second position, making clear the impact that AIs have had on general consciousness. On the other hand, ‘How are the elections going’ was what Spaniards asked the most on Google, in addition to topics related to politics such as ‘What is the amnesty’ and ‘Why the war between Israel and Gaza’ .

Bad Bunny may have been the most listened to artist on Spotify in Spain, but when it comes to Google the most searched was Shakira , undoubtedly ‘helped’ by her pact with the Prosecutor’s Office after admitting the fraud of 14.5 million euros. María Jiménez , Tina Turner and Carmen Sevilla , illustrious people who died in 2023, occupy the rest of the top positions. While the Spanish searched for these news and events, they also spent time experimenting in the kitchen, with the Limón Serrano dominating over the Orejas de Carnaval .
