To kick off the new year, we asked several popular AI chatbots to make some wild or imaginative predictions for 2024. Can these information-driven large language models compete with the realm of psychics, astrology, and prophecy? We shall see!
Here are some of their intriguing forecasts for our brand-new year:
Chat GPT:
- An underwater city prototype emerges, sparking interest in subaquatic habitats as a solution to overpopulation.
- The first mind-to-mind communication device hits the market, enabling silent conversations through neural interfaces.
Bing:
- In 2024, the world’s first space hotel will open its doors to the public. The hotel will be located in low Earth orbit and will offer guests a unique experience of living in space. The hotel will be equipped with state-of-the-art technology and will offer breathtaking views of the Earth. Guests will be able to participate in spacewalks, enjoy zero-gravity sports, and dine on gourmet space cuisine.
Claude:
- Flying cars will finally take off (pun intended) with several major companies unveiling practical models for personal transportation and travel. Air taxis will become common in major cities.
- Lab-grown meat will achieve price parity with farmed meat, leading to a boom in cultured meat consumption and decline of traditional farming. New food technologies create ethical debates.
Bard:
- Scientists pioneer a technology that allows us to enter and share dreams. Overnight, a global "Dreamcatcher Network" emerges, with people exchanging experiences, exploring fantastical landscapes, and collaborating on creative projects in the shared dreamspace. This raises concerns about privacy, manipulation, and the potential for nightmares to spread like viruses.
- Sentient sourdough starter wins the Nobel Prize in Fermentation for groundbreaking research on bread consciousness. Baguette sales plummet as a result.
