What a weirdly aggressive attack... Either I'm selfish and have a lot of biases or I'm lazy.
Could it not be that as a person with an interest in AI and general technology I am wondering if there is any detail on what does an "AI" look for to determine a "sensationalist" title and how does it "desensationalize" it?
I have scanned the twitter feed and the app and just wondering if there is anything on how it works. The answer can be no.
I'm not trying to attack you, I was dissecting your intentions, which I'm now noticing came off as super rude and I apologize for that.
But let's be frank... It's clear through your verbiage that you were either thinking about this politically or were actually just curious as I stated in my previous message.
I never said you were lazy, there are many reasons why you might not be able to try out the product right now and it's totally normal to ask questions when you assume others might have answers. It's also possible to do selfish things, or think selfishly at times and not be a selfish person, I was not trying to antagonize.
Sorry for misunderstanding your intentions, for some reason when you asked "What does desensationalize exactly mean?" I read it particularly negatively.
I read the OPs comment seemingly in a completely different way than you.
To me, it's just a comment asking how it may work (technically). Pretty normal to ask that on HN. The persons feelings or intentions aren't reflected in the comment and I think aren't relevant to the question either way.
I think it's the word "Exactly" in his sentence that changes the meaning away from "I'm intellectually curious" for me. I'm just reading between the lines but the op can change their intention as they please and deny so whatever I say at this point is irrelevant and it's likely I was being too cheeky.
Wouldn't someone who was intellectually curious just ask: "That's interesting, I wonder how it works?" and not: "What does desensationalized exactly mean?" which is overly negative. Incidentally, I'm being accused of being negative for pointing that out.
