No, it’s a great title. It was curious enough that I clicked and then I read the whole thing.
It’s unlikely I would have done that if it had been something like “Using computer vision to score rifle shooting cards”.

In other words it's a great clickbait title, yet still a bad title.
I wouldn't say that. The current title indicates that the article is likely written in a less clinical manner than an article called "Using computer vision to score rifle shooting cards" would have been.
Thanks for that, now I know I don't care about the contents before clicking. Misleading titles (something about smartphones and metals?) is why people open comments before reading the article
Would you call titles of other media click bait too, like 1984 or Gone with the wind? Sometimes an article doesn't have to have a literal title, sometimes it's an artistic decision to have a more vague title that nevertheless relates to the media.
Clickbait is where the title leads you to believe the article is more interesting than it is. I'd argue this was the opposite of that.
