    I think it’s more the positive nature of “pump” that annoys me in this context.

    People pumping stocks make them go up, not down.

      Pumping something tends to be postivie, yeah. Pump up the jams, pump up tires, etc.

      Stopping spending on pointless AI is pretty postive, so maybe thats why the writer chose it?
