This is the norm for the industry. When there is a lot of money to be made, people will chase it by any means they can think of.

AI is a special case, as academia isn't usually that lucrative. In the rest of CS, many major conferences still have ~300 people, and interesting stuff often happens in specialized meetings with fewer than 100 participants.

This is the norm for the economy. When there is money to be made, at least one person will chase it by any means they can think of.

Academia is a specific case. It happens everywhere.
