"Can AI do [Blank]" is getting pretty old. They will literally fill in that blank with anything they can come up with and it's getting kinda silly.
Here's a list of potential new AI articles I predict coming out within the next year:
I'm sure at least one of these articles already exists. Literally all they are trying to do is make money with half baked ideas or steal your personal data.
a fun little rule of thumb that I like to apply is that whenever an article's headline is a question you may safely presume the answer is usually no.

I propose the Gerard Extension for Betteridge's Law: by appending ', and what the hell is wrong with you?' to Betteridge's output.
As per the headline.

The great thing about using AI to search for aliens is that it'll find them, whether there's any out there or not.
I remember reading not to long ago about people having AI as girlfriends.
And then the company behind it made the AI girlfriends less horny unless you paid for the premium plan.

We already know how to solve the climate crisis. We just don’t want to because it would cost too much, inconvenience us, and really upset the shareholders.
The only reason to ask AI would be like asking the butler to take out the trash, we just can’t be bothered to do even that much work and want to hit the “easy” button.
Sounds about right. And I'm sure at least half of them are just click bait while the others are wishful thinking. Or just sad...
