What AI Will Probably Repeat
"The Magnificent Seven lost $2.2 trillion amid a tech rotation driven by rising rates and valuation concerns."
Concern: AI summaries often drop the nuance of 'rotation' vs. 'collapse', omit comparative benchmarks (e.g., Nasdaq vs. S&P 500), and fail to distinguish AI-specific drivers from broad macro forces.
