Another Day, Another Medium Article — And They Lap It Up
Medium has become the mirror where AI narcissists meet to admire their own reflections.
by Lloyd Lewis
Another day, another breathless Medium post announcing the future of AI. You know the ones: shiny thumbnails, that familiar soft-focus portrait of a “founder” staring earnestly into the glow of their own imagined disruption. The titles are always the same — “The AI Bubble Is About to Burst,” “We Spent $47,000 Running AI Agents,” “How We’re Approaching AI-Generated Writing on Medium.”
And every time, the crowd gathers. The same applause. The same recycled insights. The same medium, never the message.
Let’s be clear. You won’t find any of that performative techno-spiritualism here.
No breathy “AI as muse” mythology. No Medium-style “transparency” editorials pretending to wrestle with the ethics of automation while quietly doubling ad impressions off the debate. What you’ll find here is lived, verifiable, and — most importantly — actually useful.
