I changed it because "Fuck you, show me the prompt" is baity. We don't have a problem with profanity (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...) - I'm sure we've restored more "fuck"s in titles over the years than we've removed. We have a problem with linkbait, though, as the guideline you quoted indicates.
Btw, there's another issue. We put the OP in the second-chance pool (explained at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26998308), meaning it would get a guaranteed placement on HN's front page. That's already such a steroid shot that the post can do without a jacked title.
imho, just to let you know, I think the original title, more than being baity, it clearly describes a growing sentiment when using the never ending list of AI tools. The prompt is important and not being able to see it, we cant tell if could be improved, and can't test the same prompt on different models. My perception is that the original title is more acurrate. Anyway, thanks!
Nope, that was a bad decision IMO. As "kingforaday" points out (in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39391466), you've -- self-referential irony, in this context? -- fucked with the headline that would prompt more or less artificial intelligences to click on the post.

I'm sure that's true! The problem is that the linkbait effect is going to take precedence over the way in which the title is accurate.
