I know we all hate AI here… But getting an AI to rewrite headlines to de-sensationalize them sounds like a fantastic feature for a Lemmy client to implement. Just need mods to allow it
You can always do that manually when creating the post. I do think AI could enforce having a quick summary at a glance… if it was reliably accurate. But again, why do that and prevent traffic from going to the people who did all the work when you can just… you know, go read what the people who made all the work made.
Ultimately there’s a fundamental problem in an attention-driven economy directed at squishy-brained humans with biased, broken cognitive systems that can be easily exploited.

True, but you won’t. You’ll click the button that automatically populates it instead.

Yeah, that’s why I don’t like the summary idea, because then even fewer people would click through. It also requires opening the comments which also most people won’t do.
I guess fewer people click through with less sensational headlines too, but at least they’re not mislead.
