Weasel Word Phrasing

The section "Challenges and limitations" appears to use weasel words, in the euphemism meaning of "weasel words". Instead of calling the section, for instance, "Problems and criticisms", the current section title puts a positive spin on the problems of cloud computing by calling those problems "challenges": security, privacy, territoriality, etc. "Challenges and limitations" is the sort of phrasing industry uses to gloss over harms. The phrasing needs to be more balanced, reflecting the fact that handing data over to another company in another country, or data being exposed to a foreign intelligence service, is more than a "challenge", it's a problem and potential harm.

incomplete sentence near end of "History" section

At the end of the second-to-last paragraph in the "History" section, someone might find a way to turn "In 2008 NASA's development ..." into a proper sentence. Thanks. Jorjulio (talk) 18:30, 21 April 2026 (UTC)

Potential AI-generated text

Concerns were raised previously via tag about AI-generated content in this article, which is prohibited per WP:NOLLM. This is a procedural talk page section to discuss it. There is no need to ping me in response. Read WP:AISIGNS for more information for why this is tagged; however, note that fixing the issue requires more than just changing the superficial signs.

Rationale: various additions throughout 2025-26; note WP:AISIGNS - superficial analyses, vocab distro typical of LLM output, etc Gnomingstuff (talk) 14:01, 7 July 2026 (UTC)

I have removed the section on market share; besides very likely LLM use, the web-based citations given did not provide 2025 data as claimed, did not provide evidence that only the three named services are referred to as "hyperscalers" (rather than, say, also the Chinese providers mentioned by Gartner, one of them having higher market share than Google in 2022), and a book from 2022 can hardly source that in recent years there was increasing use of alternative providers, a claim that is also refuted by the more recent Gartner source provided.

Checking the difference between the pre-2025 version and the current version, I cannot see any further changes that immediately strike me as LLM-generated, so I would suggest to remove the banner unless someone sees something I missed. Felix QW (talk) 12:26, 30 July 2026 (UTC)

What about just: cloud computing is computing that's rented remotely?
