Predictions are a silly business: you either make completely obvious claims, or you end up being dead wrong before the year is over. I’ve always opted for the latter, as my , , , and tech predictions prove. 2022 2021 2020 2019 2018 But, every year, companies and influencers alike insist on going the easy way. They make the blandest “predictions”, based on already well-pronounced trends. So much so in fact, that all these predictions start to feel… robotic. And I can prove it. Below are ’s "23 Tech predictions for 2023". They’re not wrong, but they should feel very familiar; not because AIs are particularly scary, but because humans are a very… predictable bunch. ChatGPT "ChatGPT, make 23 tech predictions for 2023" (AI) and will continue to advance, leading to the development of more advanced and sophisticated algorithms.
