You can always do that manually when creating the post

True, but you won’t. You’ll click the button that automatically populates it instead.

I do think AI could enforce having a quick summary at a glance… if it was reliably accurate. But again, why do that and prevent traffic from going to the people who did all the work

Yeah, that’s why I don’t like the summary idea, because then even fewer people would click through. It also requires opening the comments which also most people won’t do.

I guess fewer people click through with less sensational headlines too, but at least they’re not mislead.

I know we all hate AI here… But getting an AI to rewrite headlines to de-sensationalize them sounds like a fantastic feature for a Lemmy client to implement. Just need mods to allow it

I’m guessing China has a separate client to comply with the law without needing to add backdoors for everyone else?

Seems strange that they were previously excluding those numbers either way.

Not really, he was already insanely popular before this. Just won a third majority a week ago, which is unheard of in Ontario politics. It’s more that he knows how to connect with people and the electorate is very gullible / willing to turn a blind eye.

With all this recent goodwill he’ll probably end up being our prime minister at some point shudder

My Hispanic in-laws had to go to the states to take care of some elderly family, and they said the Spanish translations of what he’s saying make him sound much smarter than what he’s actually saying in English. Like they change the words, use proper grammar and the tone of voice doesn’t come through the translator.

Not saying this is an excuse in any way, but I thought that was interesting.
