We've replaced the baity generic title with the slightly less baity, but at least specific, subtitle.

(This is in the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.)

Thanks for the attention. Why did you change the title? I don't really care much; just curious which specific guideline you're referring to.

The original name of the post was the original title ("Please Stop Talking About AGI"). I'm the author; I wrote it. The new title is the post's subtitle.

Yes, but it was linkbait, as I described here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43134737. Perhaps you didn't intend it that way, but we have to go by effects, not intent.
