The launch of ChatGPT in November last year has seen a continued increase in searches for “AI” on Google, much more so than crypto-related terms.
Google users were far more interested in looking up artificial intelligence (AI) than “Bitcoin” or “crypto” this year, according to data from Google Trends.
Since 2020, search interest for “Bitcoin” and, occasionally, “crypto” had managed to outpace searches for “AI,” however, Google’s data shows this started to flip around August 2022.
Searches for “AI” broke out around November 2022, the same month that OpenAI’s ChatGPT was launched, and has widened the gap from crypto-related search terms since.
