Simon Wilson, who’s recently been my go-to person for all AI-related stuff, has an excellent 2023 AI round-up on his website. 2023 was the breakthrough year for Large Language Models (LLMs).

I remember back then you could ask Canonical to send you CDs, and I’d order packs of them. There’s probably still a few around my parents’ house! Getting it to install was one of my early computer achievements, as I was only just getting into writing software back then and it was all on Windows at the tim..
