Trying to predict future based on the past is foolish. I will try to do my best based on what I register about our times. My prediction is not about a 2023 specifically, but mostly about the next 10-20 years. Although, as the rate of change grows, it might be 2-5 years. I don't know. As i said that, here are my predictions:

1. AI will accelerate change and do so in an unpredictable way. AI won't replace coding or writing or art specifically, but it will make work with computers different. Probably, obsolete.

2. For example: why do you need Windows if you can just run on metal an AI that will behave like Windows/Android/Photoshop/random AAA game/custom CRM software?

3. As the language and reasoning is taken away, we will have a crisis on what it means to be human.

4. We will turn more away from computers and towards our bodies: emotions feelings and desires. Sex, food, hapiness, sadness, death and loss.

5. We will need fountain of youth more than anything else ever. Health industry will blossom. AI accelerated research will give us indefinite healthspan.

6. The last human job will be having experience and chanelling it to the AI that lacks body and desire as well as to other humans who will find AI created experiences too synthetic, not much relatable.

This is my, a little bit out of landish take, but we need to dream big, otherwise what's the point
