When I open the news, half the articles are about AI: is that really normal?
These days, when I open the news app in the morning, the first screen is almost all AI-related. Yesterday it was some company releasing a model; today it’s about regulation.
When I actually read them, there’s little about how daily life is changing—just stock prices and investment talk. I work in development, so I read them because I’m at least interested, but for my parents’ generation, it must feel like, “What is this even about?”
A larger volume of articles probably doesn’t mean the technology has matured. It’s just that everyone is writing toward wherever the ad money is flowing.

Fr, these days the front page of the news is either AI or semiconductors.
But isn’t that an old story? It was the same during the dot-com bubble. In the end, only a few companies survive, and most just leave behind news articles. AI seems to be following the exact same path now—so what’s new?
