I feel like 'using rhetorical devices to get attention' is a pretty good definition of clickbait.

In a vacuum yes, but the rhetorical device in question isn't really a standard clickbaity one is it, it's more literary. It's also logical for good writing to attract more views.
My take is that the argument boils down to saying that overfitting is a thing in LLMs too, but it comes in at the prompting phase. That's almost obviously correct, but I hadn't seen it voiced explicitly before.
The addition of "scam" in the title was a bit of hyperbole, which is probably responsible for a lot of the views and responses.
Anyway, it seems to have triggered a lot of very reactive and defensive takes, which isn't surprising but also isn't really necessary.
