100M Posts Analyzed: What You Need to Write the Best Headlines
It&#x27;s not even a perfect analogy but I was instantly reminded of an episode of TNG where the Enterprise is booby trapped inside an ancient device that amplifies and redirects their momentum towards them as radiation (hurting the crew) and the ship cannot move. There is a way to quickly move the ship but it means handing control over to the computer and only has a 50% success rate. Failure means death. The crew refuses to hand over control to a computer* and, add a little Deus Ex Machina, and they determine that very slow thruster maneuvers could also free them.
They do it old school, with skill and human (Picard&#x27;s) intuition. Tada -<p>I honestly instantly re-experienced this episode when reading that title; there&#x27;s nothing wrong with analyzing data, in fact, I probably would and the article isn&#x27;t suggesting a machine write headlines, but it feels like writing for humans should feel human and not be machine optimized...<p>I realize I&#x27;ve just been rambling, probably connected with no one else on the forum but I&#x27;ve typed all this, so I&#x27;m submitting it.
