December was quite the whirlwind, wasn’t it? Let’s dive into some stats, observations, and my daring predictions for AI in 2025.
Medium: A Mixed Bag
Medium saw a 9% increase in views, which is always a welcome holiday treat. Reads, however, dipped by 6%, proving that even the most festive month can’t distract people from their scrolling habits. Followers stayed steady — not a drop nor a surge.
The all-time favorite post, 10 Politically Incorrect Jokes That Will Make You Laugh, continued its reign as the most viewed and read. Perhaps humor is the ultimate antidote to December’s chaos. The second most viewed blog, My Comical Quest for a Celebrity Group Hug Image with Grok, rose in popularity — a nod to AI’s role in keeping things amusing. Meanwhile, The Magic of Prompts: Exploring NightCafe’s Prompt Magic Feature held its ground as the second most read post. Seems like AI creativity struck a chord.
LumAIere.com: A Holiday Bump
On LumAIere.com, page views crept up by 1%, but blog views skyrocketed by 35%, alongside a 41% surge in users. Maybe everyone’s New Year’s resolution is to learn more about AI — or maybe they’re just trying to figure out what LumAIere even means.
X.com: Engagements Galore
X.com’s metrics were a mixed platter of success and mystery:
- Impressions shot up by 23%, proving that the strategy of slipping external links into replies was a hit.
- Likes climbed a staggering 300%.
- Engagements rose 63%.
- But new follows? Down 67%. Maybe everyone was just too busy decking the halls.
The top-performing post was this gem: Post One. Coming in second: Post Two. A healthy balance of content and strategy seems to have kept things lively.
Promised vs. Delivered Content
December’s promised topics were ambitious:
- Completed: React, Vue, Angular, Svelte, and Bootstrap.
- Missed: Cursor and Debugging web apps. These will carry over to January, or perhaps, they’ll star in a “Why I Still Haven’t Written About Debugging” post someday.
Predictions for AI in 2025
- AI Personalization at Scale: AI will become as personalized as your Spotify Wrapped — expect tailored recommendations that know you better than you know yourself.
- AI Ethics in the Spotlight: With growing capabilities will come heated debates about boundaries. Transparency and accountability will be buzzwords of the year.
- Generative AI Evolution: Models will shift from good to great — producing art, text, and even solutions that push human creativity.
- AI-Driven Health Insights: Diagnostics will lean on AI like never before, from predicting illnesses to providing personalized health recommendations.
- Automation Surge: Industries will embrace AI to automate tasks — some boring, some groundbreaking — reshaping job landscapes across sectors.
