It'd be nice if there was a way to de-clickbait article titles automatically.

Even better if the think tanks had to state their funding sources by human name in the title.

Someone from my country created a browser extension that translated clickbait article titles to descriptive titles using LLM. He got sued for copyright infringement by the most clickbaity "news" outlet in Denmark, forcing him to shut down the extension.

I wonder how a lawsuit like that would have any merit.

It likely wouldn't have any but when a large company sues you as an individual it is more about the cost of engagement and the risks it involves.
