Let's dive right in and see what Victoria thinks we should be paying attention to in 2024! From AI anxiety to finding common ground, she covers a range of topics that will undoubtedly shape our cultural landscape.

Say Hello to the Machines - Bye-Bye AI Anxiety 🎉🤖

Sure, chatbots and AI have been around for a minute, but 2023 was the year most of us engaged with them on a personal level, likely thanks to ChatGPT or another Generative AI 💻🌟. As we stride into 2024, we'll continue to enjoy the benefits of this closer relationship with artificial intelligence, all while perhaps still fearing its potential 🤔😱. With legislation and regulation playing catch-up as new uses emerge, it seems like making friends with the machines is the smart move (unless you're already chums with Anima's AI Girlfriend 😉)! AI relationships like this one can meet our need for text-based intimacy, even helping to improve our relationship skills 💘. And custom GPTs? They can offer expert advice on everything from laundry to board games 🧺🎲.

Online Dreams, Real-world Reality 🌐🌅

It's no secret that life has moved online since 2020, but how about that return to in-person work, education, and experiences? Don't expect it to be smooth sailing in 2024 as many continue to buck the demands of back-to-office mandates 👩‍💼🏢. Our adaptability and growth in the online world have taught us that the online world can blur the lines of reality 💭🌈. So, get ready to see the online world seep into the real world as we enter the year ahead, with pop-up shops (like the Pinterest Predicts Pop-Up Shop) and immersive experiences (such as the Netflix experience at CES 2024) bringing life to our screens 📺🛍.

Co-Creation is the New Content Consumption 👥💰

Say goodbye to passive consumption in 2024! After witnessing large-scale in-person experiences on Taylor Swift's and Beyonce's 2023 tours, it's clear that participatory experiences are the way of the future 🎫🔥. But it's not just the concert scene that's transforming – take a gander at the user-generated Barbenheimer meme that set July 2023 alight with endless controversy and the pending Barbenheimer film. In 2024, we won't just be sharing content – we'll be designing, creating, and influencing our favorite content. Thanks to AI tools on social media platforms, anyone can be a content creator 🤓📹.

Common Ground? Forget About It! 🙅‍♀️🔥

Once upon a time, there was a glimmer of hope that we might find common ground. Alas, 2024 is shaping up to be the year of polarized outlooks 😿💔. People are becoming deeply entrenched in world issues, with disagreements causing strains that don't necessarily align with political divides
