Prepping for a new semester of a social media class, I asked Chat GPT and several alternatives to compile a list for me of the "word(s) of the year" by various dictionaries. ChatGPT, of course, was unable, since its knowledge base doesn't extend into 2023. Bing and Bard came up with lists but agreed on only Miriam Webster's and the Oxford Dictionary's words. Here's Bing's list:
The Cambridge Dictionary has chosen “hallucinate” as its Word of the Year 2023. The word refers to the experience of seeing, hearing, or feeling things that are not actually there. The choice of this word is based on a year-long surge in interest in generative artificial intelligence (AI) 1. Merriam-Webster’s Word of the Year for 2023 is “authentic”. The term refers to something that is genuine, real, or true. The word saw a substantial increase in 2023, driven by stories and conversations about AI, celebrity culture, identity, and social media 2. Collins Dictionary’s Word of the Year for 2023 is “AI”. The abbreviation stands for “artificial intelligence”. The choice of this word is based on an explosion of debate, scrutiny, and prediction about AI 3. Oxford Dictionary’s Word of the Year for 2023 is “Rizz”. The word is derived from the word ‘charisma’, which means “compelling attractiveness or charm that can inspire devotion in others.” It refers to someone’s ability to attract another person through style, charm, or attractiveness 1. Dictionary.com’s Word of the Year for 2023 is “hallucinate”. The word refers to the experience of seeing, hearing, or feeling things that are not actually there. The choice of this word is based on the year-long surge in interest in generative AI 3. I hope this helps! Yes, Bard, it helps. Thank you! |
