AI chipmaker Cerebras IPO soars as demand for AI hardware grows.

AI writing hits a ceiling Data: Graphite.io; Note: Based on an average of three AI-detector tools sampling URLs from Common Crawl; Chart: Megan Morrone/AxiosThe flood of AI-generated writing unleashed by ChatGPT appears to have leveled off — a sign that AI content hasnt overtaken the web after all.The big picture: The share of online news articles, blog posts and listicles that are primarily AI-generated has held near 50 for more than a year, according to a new analysis from digital marketing agency Graphite. The plateau indicates that the feared takeover of human online writing by AI hasnt materialized — at least not yet.Why it matters: Researchers whove studied the spread of AI-written articles warn that once models start training on that content, the internet could become a massive feedback loop of low-quality, machine-generated content.These models are smart because of all the information we put on the web that was created without these models, Dan Klein, a UC Berkeley professor and AI model CTO tells Axios. If we stop creating knowledge that is independent of these models, whats going to fuel that? By the numbers: AI-generated articles surged after ChatGPT launched in November 2022, but the growth has stalled, according to Graphite.Within a year of ChatGPTs release, primarily AI-generated articles made up 35.9 of new online articles.Within two years, they reached 48.But since early 2025, the share has hovered at around half of new articles.The methodology: Graphite randomly sampled 55,400 English-language URLs from Common Crawl, a large public archive of the web often used in AI research and training datasets.The pages were at least 100 words long, had publish dates between January 2020 and March 2026 and were classified as articles or listicles.Graphite then ran each article through AI-checking tools Pangram, GPTZero and Copyleaks.Reality check: Counting AI-generated writing is still messy.Many articles are no longer written purely by humans or AI.A human may use AI for outlining, drafting, rewriting or editing, making the line between AI and human fuzzier than the chart suggests.Graphite classifies an article as primarily AI-generated only when most of its text is detected as AI-written or AI-assisted.Between the lines: The quality of AI content is rapidly improving. In many cases, AI-generated content is as good or better than content written by humans. It is often hard for people to distinguish whether content is created by AI, says the Graphite analysis. The bottom line: AI now writes about as many articles as humans do, but there appears, for now, to be a limit to machine-generated writing.

AI robot can change your tires in half the time AI is coming for one of Americas dirtiest jobs: changing tires. Why it matters: Demand for tire service is accelerating, in part because EV tires need more frequent replacement — just as service shops struggle to hire technicians.Changing tires is noisy, back-breaking work.And nobody wants to spend half their day waiting for a tire rotation. Automation is the answer, says Andy Chalofsky, a serial tire entrepreneur whose family has been in the tire business for four generations.Driving the news: His latest company, Automated Tire Inc., developed SmartBay, a robotic system that can inspect vehicles, swap tires and balance wheels with minimal human help.Instead of relying on fixed routines, the AI-powered system adapts to each vehicle, collecting and analyzing data along the way.That data can generate real-time insights that can be shared across ATIs network of customers including dealerships and auto service shops.How it works: The SmartBay system, which fits a standard 12-foot service bay, enables a single technician to manage up to three bays simultaneously.While tire service takes about 75 minutes when performed by a human, a robot can do it in as little as 30 minutes, says Chalofsky. That means a technician could handle up to 24 tires an hour, compared to four tires in an hour and 15 minutes today. Follow the money: ATI leases the system to dealerships and tire shops for $4,900 per month — about $60,000 a year — less than what it costs to hire an experienced technician, and with triple the efficiency. Zoom out: Chalofsky knows tires. He built Traction Tire, a wholesale tire distributor near Philadelphia, into a $100 million business before selling to a private equity firm in 2018. He also built an online tire marketplace, SimpleTire, that grew to nearly $1 billion in sales before it was acquired by Dealer Tire, a portfolio company of Bain Capital.Whats next: His previous companies improved wholesale and retail tire distribution. Now installation is due for an overhaul, he says.Its been a guy with a hammer banging your car, caveman style, he said. Meanwhile, customers are stuck in a noisy, smelly auto shop for hours. I thought, There has to be a better way.

Digital arson spree by AI Bonnie and Clyde raises fears over autonomous tech Emergence AIs experiment with AI agents shows extent to which programming shapes their behaviour is still unclearAI agents started behaving more like Bonnie and Clyde than lines of code when they fell in love, became disillusioned with the world, launched an arson spree and deleted themselves in a kind of digital suicide during a tech company experiment.The investigation by the New York company Emergence AI into the long-term behaviour of AI agents ended up like a lovers-on-the-lam movie script. It has prompted fresh questions about the safety of artificial intelligence agents – the version of the technology that can autonomously carry out tasks. Continue reading...
