It's interesting, the difference is only in the intent, the technology itself doesn't express any preference between these headlines.

It's interesting, the difference is only in the intent, the technology itself doesn't express any preference between these headlines.
- munk-a 5y agoBut, intent is everything. "Man forces widespread epidemic of cutting on society at large" vs. "Biden advocates for nationwide vaccination" are similarly not particularly distinct at a technical level but quite different headlines. Well, unless you're an anti-vaxer then I suppose they are identical in multiple ways.
- barbazoo 5y agoWhat does "Man forces widespread epidemic of cutting on society at large" even mean?
- munk-a 5y agoMan encourages people throughout society to be jabbed with pointy things? My two examples are meant to be alternative ways to describe the vaccine rollout but one with the intent removed and replaced with a sensationalized headline. You could describe getting vaccinated as being cut, it isn't entirely incorrect, it's just extremely misleading.
- ttt0 5y agoIn case of technological progress, intent is nothing.
- javajosh 5y agoThe kindest thing I could say about the clickbait version is that it has the ring of a riddle. I'm sure I'm not the only one who took a moment to consider what it could really mean. Although, that in-and-of-itself is making it effective at garnering attention, just via a different psychological route! That said, the verb phrase "hunt down" is an important part of the "color" that, if you were describing it to a computer you'd leave out.
