Yes I think I have a similar sentiment. Articles like these would do better to take the approach of
"Oh shit, something huge is happening and we might not be intelligent enough to see the ramifications, but here's a humble attempt"
rather than
"Ha, the techies have done something they think is impressive again. It's certainly interesting, but as usual they're exaggerating it and failing to think from a nuanced human perspective. However us journalists are trained in that sort of thing, so we can help out here, and we know you readers will be all too familiar with the way those techies can only think like computers lol."
