Non clickbait title: new steam hardware is delayed due to the computer part shortage fueled by AI growth.

It’s the same title. AI growth = more stupid little babies writing emails with LLMs.

One is a clear informative title, another one is clickbait and not clear and requires extra context to understand. If you can't distinguish the 2, you're a bad communicator

Clickbait implies that title leaves something unsaid so that you click through and see more ads. Everything you need to know was said in the title.

It leaves a lot unsaid if you don't understand the context. On one hand, why are babies sending email? Aren't all babies stupid? On the other hand, it leaves out the main information, which is PC part shortage, and the main culprits, which are image and video generation. Not people writing fucking AI emails. I now see you not only don't think the title is trying to be humorous, you actually believe it!

Acrually when I first read the title I thought someone in their supply chain let AI write some emails causing some catastrophic delay.

I’m okay with title assuming readers have a basic awareness of world events like ongoing LLM mania and final stages of a bubble.

Friend. I'm trying to tell you. That's not how reality works. No one ever has the full picture. I work closely in AI (sadly we pivited there). Your arguments don't make sense.

I’m so sorry that it happened to you.
