    Extremely misleading headline. He, “never returned”, because he tripped and fell in a parking lot. Unfortunately, he succumbed to the fall injuries days later. The headline makes it sounds like the AI killed him or created some plot to do so.

      Putting the 2 statements side by side implies they are connected. For the media illiterate it can be very misleading.

      Initially I wanted to defend the headline because it’s not ‘literally’ suggesting any AI wrongdoing, but I can say that because I know headlines are written to be this way so I know what to dismiss. It’s a manipulative practice and that’s a shame
