It doesn’t seem misleading to me, they explicitly said “How I used GPT-3”, not “How GPT-3 generated”. (Unless they edited the title)

Sometimes people infer things that aren't strictly speaking logically implied. That doesn't make it not misleading, if it reliably causes people to make those inferences.

It's implying a direct causal effect to getting to the front page, which given the article argument is not well supported.

You are correct, but I would still agree that it is misleading to some extent.
