I like how the headline is truncated. I was thinking of 'seen' or 'taken' but turns out it ended with 'shared'.


Soon with their AI, it'll be "photos you haven't yet taken"


Could be more fun options:

  - Photos you haven’t yet known you’re in. 
  - Photos you haven’t yet deleted. 
  - Photos you haven’t yet thought better about taking.


What do you like about it?

How is it the photos are shared when they’re not shared?


Perhaps you're not aware, but starting a sentence about something you don't like with "I like how..." is basically a form of sarcasm.


Ok, good info. So GP means to evoke the type of information shearing garbage some of us are wise enough to expect from unaligned and underspecified human-emulating but self-serving autonomous digital systems, and not comment on their sincere affection for information loss in clickbait titles that. . .


That's true, and people should learn to recognize it. But in general, sarcasm is easily misunderstood in pure text. You read it with a tone in your head, but they can't hear it.

Also, it's best to avoid it a site like this with many non-native English speakers. It's an extra layer of difficulty.


In this case it might not have been sarcasm. The headline cut in just the right place to let you fill in the blank for your own amusement.
