This post title is pretty bad. Even the news article says "Scientists use AI [read: machine learning] to [come up with new battery idea]".

"Sure Dr.battery, I can create a set of instructions to create a new battery that uses less lithium for you!

Step one, use 70% less lithium.

Step two, drain the butter into a pan.

Step three, enjoy your new battery!

Remember: batteries can be dangerous and it's always advised to check with your battery professional before making a battery."

It's a real shame but I'm seeing this more often on all media sources. How do we combat these shitty titles?

Surely on Lemmy we have some power? I've downvoted and moved on but is that really all I can do?

I wish I had a solution. But its the same with all shitty titles, you have to hope people click and read the article/comments in order to get the nuanced information.
