I made 17 AI Predictions for 2025—Here's What Actually Happened (41% Were Right)

In January 2025, Nate B Jones made 17 predictions for the year and now, eight months in, he reviews their accuracy. He categorizes them into "hits," "partials," and "misses," detailing his reasoning for each. Seven predictions were "home runs," including the rise of AI creators and synthetic content. Six were partial hits, like AI joining social settings and AI skills becoming job requirements, but with caveats about timing or scope. Four predictions were misses, such as AI consciousness activism and AI weddings. Looking ahead, he identifies LLM affinity, AI in code, and the proliferation of open-source models as key areas he should have included in his initial predictions.
