AI writing statistics show that AI writing has become commonplace in many industries. With ChatGPT having taken the world by storm just a few months after launching, AI writing software continues to gain popularity and applicability. Workers and job seekers need to upskill and reskill to remain relevant and employable in the job market.
AI writing first appeared on the online writing scene in 2007 within StatSheet,5 used for creating content related to sports statistics. In 2009, Grammarly launched as a more sophisticated writing assistant to detect and correct common grammar mistakes.6 In 2023, we saw the rise of large language models (LLMs), with ChatGPT, Claude, Bard and more.
In this article, we’ve compiled a list of 50 AI writing statistics that show how AI writing software is revolutionizing the world.

AI writing tools have made it easier to research, compile and write content. However, content created with AI is not always reliable or truthful.
Additionally, as beneficial as AI writing software may be, it shouldn’t be used to generate content merely for search engine rankings; that goes against the Google Search Liaison guidelines7 and will lead to your content being marked as spam.
More companies are integrating AI technology into their systems, mainly for content creation and process automation. Businesses in some countries — like China and the U.S. — have adopted AI technologies more quickly than others. However, the rise of OpenAI and other widely available, free AI tools is making it easier for businesses in other countries to pick up these tools, too.
In this next set of AI writing statistics, we focus on the big question: “Will AI take my job?” The answer depends on the industry you’re in and how easy it is to automate what you do in the near future.
In May 2023, AI contributed to over 80 thousand job losses in the U.S. alone.3 Considering that no job is completely safe, it’s essential to reskill and upskill from time to time as changes show up in your industry.
In the education sector, AI can be used for essay writing, doing homework, compiling academic research papers and more. We cannot ignore that AI writing is forcing the global reevaluation of the role of schools and teachers in students’ education.
Teacher-less schools and school-less education are a possibility, where students can learn from home on their laptops without involving a teacher.
AI writing assistant software solutions help companies save money. Using AI writing software reduces the number of writers and editors that companies need to hire.
Though AI writing tools charge up to $100 monthly, you can write hundreds of thousands of words using them. As a result, AI in general can help companies save up to $35,000 yearly when implemented correctly.28
When it comes to marketing, AI writing comes in handy, but must be used with caution to avoid being marked as spam by search engines and customers alike.
Using AI writing to generate digital content will continue to impact SEO and search engine rankings. However, Google and other search engines are working around the clock to ensure that they can identify AI-written content and prioritize content written for human consumption rather than just for ranking on search engines. As AI-generated content becomes more prevalent, the use of AI detector tools is increasing to ensure authenticity and maintain content integrity.
Natural language processing tools like ChatGPT use GPT-3 and other language processing models called large language models. They use “natural language” generation and processing to comprehend and generate natural human language text.
These complex technologies are fed vast amounts of training data to generate human-like responses that are as accurate as possible (read our ChatGPT Facts for more details).
AI writing tools continue to learn and evolve through training data and other means, becoming more sophisticated over time. As GPT-3 and GPT-4 have revolutionized the AI writing landscape, their applicability will continue to expand to more and more industries and professions.

Have you used AI writing tools in your work before? What did you use the tool for? Were the results satisfactory or were you disappointed? Let us know in the comments below, and as always, thank you for reading.
A total of 23% of authors use generative AI as part of their writing process to brainstorm ideas and deal with writer’s block. Of these authors, 54% use ChatGPT, 13% use GPT-4 and 8% use Bard.[19]
There are AI detector tools designed for this purpose. However, as of 2024, these tools are still highly inaccurate and unreliable[33] and often flag human-written content as AI-generated (false positives) and AI content as human-written (false negatives).
Yes, AI writing can be beneficial because it helps boost productivity by providing a rough draft of text, which humans can then read through to ensure accuracy and a logical flow of ideas.
It’s not likely that AI will eventually replace all writers, as AI writing tools can’t have personal engagement with certain content. However, for more generic written content, there is conversational AI happening already to handle repetitive tasks and even for published articles.
