I think both are very impressive, world shattering capabilities. Just because they have become normalized doesn't make it any less impressive in my view.
That's a fair point, and I would even agree. Though I think we could agree that it is fair to interpret "impressive" in this context as "surprising". There's lots of really unsurprising things that are incredibly impressive. But I think the general usage of the word here is more akin to surprisal.
