Generative AI Coverage Steady In Business Press But Fall In Search Interest

Television news coverage of "generative AI" and "large language models" surged on business channels in April 2023, then entered a relatively stable level of coverage in July 2023. While increasing last month, mentions are still relatively stable on business channels. In contrast, general news channels have covered genai very little, as seen in the timeline below.

In contrast, Google Trends data shows US-based web search interest in "generative AI" (blue) began to decline last month, while "genai" (red) and "large language models" (yellow) similarly declined, though searches for LLMs appear to be potentially rebounding.
