The article starts with this statement:
Artificial intelligence (AI) has
seen a broad adoption over the past
couple of years.
And continues:
At Tesla, who as many know is a
company that works on electric
and autonomous vehicles, AI has
a massive value to every aspect
of the company's work.
Who is writing like this? And why?
What would Tom's Hardware lose if they left out this type of cheap fillwords?
Should I also start writing like this?
Is this type of "reader hostile writing" a new thing or have newspapers always written like this?
These are not rhetorical questions. I am honestly confused.
- CharlesW 5y agoIMO that first paragraph is great, especially for readers who may not have your level of industry knowledge and technical acumen. It efficiently contextualizes the article and addresses a common complaint that I often see even on HN — the failure to clearly answer "What is this and why does this matter?"
- TekMol 5y agoSo you tell me the readers of a hardware site who click on a title "Tesla Packs 50 Billion Transistors Onto D1 Dojo Chip" hear for the first time about the term Artificial Intelligence?
- CharlesW 5y agoThe article doesn't explain or even define "AI", so I'm going to respectfully disagree with your premise. I understand that you consider the writing objectively "hostile", but the simpler explanation is that you're just not the audience.

- Dunedan 5y ago> […] AI has a massive value to every aspect of the company's work. That's also just wrong. During the recent "Tesla AI Day", when asked during Q/A, Elon Musk specifically mentioned that they intentionally use machine learning only for very few cases: Q: "Is Tesla using machine learning within its manufacturing, design or any other engineering processes?" Elon: "I discourage use of machine learning, because it's really difficult. Unless you have to use machine learning, don't do it. It's usually a red flag when somebody is saying 'We wanna use machine learning to solve this task'. I'm like: That sounds like bullshit. 99.9% of the time you don't need it." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0z4FweCy4M&t=9307s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0z4FweCy4M&t=9307s
