In complete agreement, not only the title but the entire article is cluttered with click-bait/hype wording. Simply refer to the paper instead [1], which is well written and should be accessible to even those with a modest understanding of the area if you stay away from the technical details. From my own scientific viewpoint, I think the finding is very neat and at least moderately surprising. So I did enjoy my quick read of the work and even wonder if the finding will be transferable to my own research area.

However, this is now the second time this week I have spotted shoddy writing coming from unite.ai – I am referring to the conspiracy-esque spin from [2] that we saw just a few days ago. Apparently they come from the same author even, that seems to put a great deal of emphasis on their articles reaching the Hacker News front page [3]. I am not sure how I feel about this, I would like to believe that “we” as a community are better than to fall for hype and click bait; I am also very uncomfortable with the idea of there being professional prestige in getting onto the front page.
