| I dislike this dramatization in reporting of mundane facts. So report the facts but sentences like "What Wei probably didn’t tell Cook is that Apple may no longer be his largest client" make it personal, they make you take sides, feel sorry for somebody, feel schadenfreude... (as you can observe in the comments) |

| Clickbait permeates all things. Next thing you know they'll be adding ____ (insert favorite controversial world leader) enraged to the headline. |

| I hate this writing as well. Is not about technology and finance? The reporter writes as if it is a novel. |

| ▲ | alephnerd 8 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | It's written in "HBS case study" tone. You might not like it, but frankly, ICs aren't the target demographic anyhow. | |

| ▲ | webstrand 8 hours ago | parent [-] | | Doesn't seem like LLM generated text to me. Even prior to ChatGPT some journalists preferred to write in a novel-style with extraneous fluff like that. |

| ▲ | afavour 8 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | The sheer number of em dashes in the text suggest to me that the reporter didn't write anything, ChatGPT did. | | |
| ▲ | zengineer 7 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | The other day I read some old blog posts of mine (~2016) and they contain "em dashes". According to you they were all written by AI. | |
| ▲ | bee_rider 7 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | If we give up every bit of punctuation that ChatGPT uses, written language will become much worse. | |
| ▲ | swiftcoder 7 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | You know posh schools teach people to write with em dashes too, right? | | |
| ▲ | progbits 7 hours ago | parent [-] | | Not to use them excessively. Good human writing has variety and style. AI articles are the same boring template, doesn't matter if it's emdash or not. | | |
| ▲ | swiftcoder 7 hours ago | parent [-] | | A lot of people don't actually learn good writing at their fancy schools - but they do they learn the stylistic quirks that signal one went to the fancy school. How do you think it got in the LLM training set in the first place? |

| ▲ | dartharva 5 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | For the last time.. Word (the program very popularly used by many reporters across the world to write articles) automatically autocorrects hyphens to em-dashes according to the default loaded grammar rules for En-US. The existence of em-dashes in an article does NOT immediately imply GenAI slop. |

| The most important signal is actually that demand is far exceeding supply and there is no AI Bubble |

| ▲ | Afforess 7 hours ago | parent [-] | | Except this makes no sense. There isn’t enough power to run all these new chips, so the demand must be speculative, not growth. |
