Pro-AI articles are all the same as well. "AI will be so useful!" It's boring and predictable.

Wrong. "Here is a totally mind-blowing new thing AI will let you do this week that humanity could not do last week" is an endless source of novelty and eyeballs. Source: Am a publisher in this space and have seen the engagement numbers. You are the guy in the meme standing in the corner of the party, with the words "They don't know AI is just math" printed over his head.

Could you make your post more substantive by e.g. sharing rough engagement numbers? Otherwise as an outsider this just reads as pretty mean-spirited.

Sad because I am an Ars Technica fan, but can empathize with GP's point about AI coverage being repetitive and often over-hyping results.
