Happy New Year!!! Top AI stories of 2023 ... TL;DR 9Jan24

Last update: Friday 1/12/24 

Happy New Year!!! ... And welcome to our TL;DR summary about the top AI stories that were posted on our "Useful AI News" page in 2023. We selected the stories that we thought will prove to be the most useful for predicting what the top AI stories will be in 2024.

Our first top story is OpenAI's movement of ChatGPT to its new GPT-4 model in March 2023, a move that led to ChatGPT's domination of the AI news sector for the rest of the year. Our second top story is about the most significant Big Tech challenges to OpenAI's supremacy in the final weeks of 2023, i.e., challenges from Amazon, Google, and Microsoft ... yes, Microsoft.

These top stories framed our prediction of the top stories for 2024. Spoiler alert, here's our prediction: Whereas large language models (LLMs) dominated AI news throughout 2023, the rapid and widespread proliferation of small language models (SLMs) will be the dominant AI news stories throughout 2024.

Last update: Friday 1/12/24 

This page contains links to responses by Google's Bard chatbot to 12 questions that should be asked more frequently, but aren't. As consequence, too many readily understood AI terms have become meaningless buzzwords in the media. 

The questions on this page are ordered by increasing specificity, so they should be read in numerical order. Most readers are less likely to understand Bard's answers to later questions if they haven't read its answers to questions that appear earlier in the list.
