Reply to comment by persolb in All 7 Pennsylvania chocolate factory explosion victims found by Substantial-Pass-992

The expectation that whole articles can be crammed down into the space of a headline is getting out of hand.

If the whole update can be a headline it should be. The entire rest of that article is filler.

Just to prove the point, I asked ChatGPT to summarize the headline in three ways and got:

Seven dead in Pennsylvania chocolate factory explosion

Seven fatalities confirmed in Pennsylvania chocolate factory explosion

West Reading community mourns loss of seven lives in chocolate factory explosion

​

Someone paid to do it should be able to come up with a better headline. I also, after some persuasion, got it to provide click-bait versions...

"You won't believe what caused the deadly explosion at this chocolate factory!"

"Exclusive: Eyewitness reveals shocking details about the chocolate factory blast in Pennsylvania"

"Is the chocolate industry hiding something? Tragic explosion at factory raises questions"
