    Completely off topic but I kinda hate this style of headline. "They wanted X. Then Y happened." Whatever happened to the art of the concise headline?

    "AI turns Asian student white when asked to make her photo more professional"

      short, declarative sentences are more attention grabbing than a single longer sentence, even when they're conveying the same info. the headline is punchier than your version, though I'm not sure that's a good thing.

        It's weird because the headline Google serves for the same article is closer to mine. I guess once the link's been clicked they don't need to worry about info/length economy as much.

        Yahoo even has one of each type, for whatever reason

        Paywalls and obnoxious popups make that even more likely, too.
