Editorialized & not the title of the post.
I confess to being a bit self-indulgent in coming up with the edit—I thought it would be hilarious to flip it to something meek and passive aggressive.
Normally when we edit a title according to that guideline, we search earnestly for a representative and neutral phrase from the article itself. In this case "earnest' and "neutral" aren't much of a fit so I felt it more in the authorial spirit to troll a little.
Since the original author submitted I thought it was misleading.
> I Will
Ok in principle but already pattern matches to dodginess
> Fucking
That's a noise amplifier—can be ok if the rest of the title is whimsical, but in most cases it's just ponderous
> Piledrive
Wtf? that's extremely aggressive. "I will do to you what professional wrestlers do to those whom they are violently defeating, except without the training not be terminally injured by it"
Hot language like that may be ok if it gets balanced by other things (but in this case there are no other things)
> You
"You" is a linkbait trope. In this case it doubles down on the aggression—not just "i will piledrive" but "I will piledrive you". What did you have to do with it?
> If You Mention
The superfluous you again, plus the word "mention"—what's wrong with mentioning things? This is a rhetorical trcik to drive up the menace: "don't you dare mention $thing you piece of shit"
> AI
The commonest hot topic du jour. Ok, but there'd better be something substantive to balance the buzzword. Is there?
> Again
Rhetorical escalation. You are mentioning Ai AGAIN? I will fucking piledrive you.
Conclusion: not a word in that title isn't linkbait. Take it all out and you end up with the empty string.
