Scripting News identifies a meta-problem in tech journalism: outlets recycle the same "AI makes things up" narrative without advancing the story or updating their understanding as the technology and use cases evolve. This lazy reporting creates a false sense of novelty while obscuring genuine shifts in how companies are deploying AI and what actual risks matter most. The result is wasted editorial credibility and reader attention on a loop rather than investigation into what's actually changing in the market.
