Technology will continue to advance gradually. Some more progress with self-driving cars. Some self-driving taxis will roll out and Israel is experimenting with autonomous buses starting that year. Otherwise it'll be mainly incremental progress. Some more progress in biotech and medicine, as there is every year. Aging research keeps growing, with more progress made and more publicity gained, as well as continuing clinical trials for treatments meant to slow aging.
Aside from that, AI will continue to advance and continue to be adopted across different industries. Robotics will also continue advance, due to worker shortages corporations will keep furiously investing in robots.
All of this will be gradual, no Earth-shattering change will happen, just gradual tiny steps. A discovery in the lab that leads to a new cancer treatment a few years down the line. Another percentage of manual labor jobs just disappear due to robots taking them over. Artificial intelligence improves somewhat and creeps a bit more into the workplace. Maybe a bit of fanfare over self-driving vehicles out on the street a bit more but that's just baby steps. The end of 2023 is going to be pretty similar to the end of 2022. But the change will be gradually creeping up on us.

Granted, your post is vague enough to be open to interpretation, but I disagree. What you describe ("there will be a bit of progress, but eh, nothing worth excitement") is more like a 2010s year. Nowadays each year counts for quite a lot. AI video and AI art are in a very different place now compared to January. We're at a point where the slow years are over and each new year brings major change. That doesn't mean reaching the finish line in any given field, but 20s years bring a lot more progress in the fields we care about than 10s years. We're past the point where there's ho-hum years where not much happens, and have reached the point where every year is like the four guys on a couch meme.
