For what it's worth, while I may fall into the trap of clickbait sometimes, I'd probably be just as likely to open a link to "LLM discourse needs more nuance" than I would to the original. If the original had been any more clickbaity, I'd have wanted to consciously avoid it instead.
(IMO your original title as it stands is just more of an expression of opinion. Not the most professionally clinical of them, but not overly clickbaity either. Eye-catching titles aren't a recent invention, and not always a bad thing either. The current attention economy has just taken it too far.)
- timdaub 4y agoYeah that's fine. But you have to consider that an article called "LLM discourse needs more nuance" will never make it in the /new sub page on HN. There is so much competition that uses the same tricks but potentially less apparent than what meets the eye. Please try writing something meaningful yourself and make it work. Headline is the only thing that defines the CTR on HN, so a submitter has to make it stand out, there is no other way.
