Agreed, I think all native English speakers would read it as a jokey title (I know I did)

- SamBam 3y agoRight, but GP's point, the jokey title doesn't actually convey much about the study. I know many articles like to have funny titles. I wonder if this might start to change as people start to use AI more to go through 100,000 journal article titles to quickly see which ones may be useful to their research.
- lucb1e 3y agoWouldn't that allow titles to now contain exclusively humoristic content, because the AI already read the whole paper for you and matched that against your search request rather than merely the title and/or abstract? I was already wondering if the ability to search abstracts (and modern engines are pretty good at matching synonyms as well unless you "quote" the keyword), and the displaying of excerpts below each title (like any web search engine does), is what makes the current situation workable.
