Comment on Meta's flirty AI chatbot invited a retiree to New York. He never made it home.

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

Alright I don’t mean to be “that guy” but it says “he never made it home”
He didn’t make it home, he died in the hospital.
