Because almost all news is just looking for a reason, any reason, to support some kind of narrative of angst and outrage to drive engagement.

Joke conspiracy theory: it's all a conspiracy of mass media to paint AI as bad as they can, so when it becomes more energy-efficient it won't be able to disrupt their deceptive practices by de-hyping the headlines replacing them with impartial summaries (since all LLMs really can do are text transformations), thus upsetting the hidden attention economy. /bs

For real, though, is these something already out there that solves the clickbait problem?

Is there a browser plugin that:

1. clicks the link 2. reads the article 3. rewrites the link title in less clickbaity terms?

It seems possible.

Half of the rewritten titles will be "Review Our Privacy Agreement" and "Trial Over - Subscribe to Read Our Articles" :)

Feels like a good idea for Kagi to incorporate

They kind of already do this. There's a "Summarize page" item in the hamburger dots next to each search result that appears to send an LLM off to read the page, and fill out an element under the search result with a summary. So, more about the content than the title, but I think that's even better.
