I just used the modern method for articles like that.

I read the headlines, skimmed the prose that has no purpose other than 'it was what the AI put out', then read the conclusion.

Similarly, I skip video content where the title is something like "How to get better fuel economy for your car" and the video starts "Let's investigate the entire history of wheels", and the whole video could just be a guy sat in a chair saying "keep your tyres at the correct pressure"

You are right, it feels like clickbait for blog posts / articles.

And once you notice the bait (via telltale signs) you feel betrayed. Betrayed for your attention, thoughts and time.
