    I don’t follow the AI bubble trend at all. But I have been seeing alot of videos all of a sudden, popping up in my recommended talking about it. Who knows.

      I just saw a TV commercial for a special series the local news is doing on traffic issues, and they used several quick background graphics, and at least one quick film clip that were obviously AI-generated.

      You can argue over the appropriateness of AI, but most people would agree that it doesn’t belong anywhere near a news broadcast. If you don’t have footage, it is highly unethical to create footage to juice up your news reports.

        It’s only pervasive because the AI companies are losing money on every generated token while burning investor money to keep the lights on. If people had to pay for what it really costs they’d be using it a lot less.

          I was responding to you finally noticing how pervasive it is getting.

      A few banks started issuing warnings, and some of the “biggest upcoming launches” were extremely underwhelming, like Sora 2 and GPT 5. Not only that, but the companies going all in on replacing workers with AI are still not showing a clear return on investment, so this combination is making people more aware about the bubble.
