Can we use AI to fix this?

Make an LLM read the articles behind the links, and then rewrite the headlines (in a browser plugin for instance).

>>ameliu+(OP)
HN already needlessly rewrites headlines with automation and it's more annoying to see automation go stupidly wrong than letting the original imperfect situation stand. Having outrage about headlines is a choice.

>>add-su+f3
I don't think HN's rewrite algorithm uses modern LLM techniques.

Also, it could be optional. It probably should be, in fact.

My browser integrates an LLM, so I asked it to restate the headline of this one, and it came up with "Developer Suspended by Google After Uploading AI Dataset Containing CSAM" which seems pretty even-handed. Of course, I would want to dial the snark to 11. Many hacker stories can be headlined "Developer discovers that C still sucks" etc.

If you edit a title after posting, it will not be rewritten again until a human at Y Combinator comes across it.
