AI generated thread titles

Why is MN nudging posters to use AI generated thread titles? Numerous threads have titles which are misleading once you read the full OP, or which continue to put a different slant on the opening post until the poster explains they "let Mumsnet choose the title" or "went with the AI title".

Why is AI being used in this pointless and misleading way? Surely it's AI for the sake of it.

Hi all,

Thanks for your feedback, we'll look into this.

This feature is designed to help people write thread titles, which was identified as a point of friction when we spoke to users about creating threads. The suggested title is editable once selected and can be completely ignored if you prefer to write your own.

More descriptive titles tend to give threads more traction, so we want to help give people's posts the best chance of being seen on the site and discovered through search.

We definitely do not want to make titles misleading. If you do spot that please report them and we will look into whether we can improve the system further. Or you can share a link to the thread here and we can take a look.
