Every application of LLM "AI" just reminds people of why they hate it so much that "AI" is a toxic brand, yet these goons keep burning billions chasing their silicon god, terrified of the day when Number Go Down..

@faduda

headlines are often written by someone who hasn't actually read the story, so having headlines written by someone who wouldn't understand the story even if they read it is simply peachy

@stephenwhq Headlines should be written by a subeditor who has read the story, I'm not sure why you'd think otherwise.

In general they do, but over thirty years of working with the press I've seen plenty of headlines which made the journalist who wrote the story cough up their coffee.
