With training from humans and machines, an artificial intelligence model can outperform other clickbait detectors, according to new research. In addition, the new AI-based solution was also able to tell the difference between headlines that machines--or bots--generated and ones people wrote, they says. In a study, the researchers asked people to write their own clickbait--an interesting, but misleading, news headline designed to attract readers to click on links to other online stories.
