The Merriam-Webster dictionary, one of the best-known English sources, determined “authentic” as the word of the year.

According to the statement posted on Merriam-Webster’s website, interest in this year’s word comes from “advances in artificial intelligence and social media.” The statement indicated that the most used “authentic” word this year was declared the “word of 2023” and highlighted that a “significant increase” in search rates for this word was observed during the year.

The statement states that the popularity of the word “is increasing as the line between ‘real’ and ‘fake’ becomes increasingly blurred” and that another of the most searched words is that it allows the production of fake videos; It was claimed that this was a “deepfake” used for artificial intelligence-based technology.

On the other hand, the Merriam-Webster dictionary declared “gaslighting,” a term used to describe “the manipulation of a person in a way that causes them to question their own facts,” as “the word of 2022.” “Vaccine” was chosen as the “word of 2021”. (AA)
