What are the potential drawbacks of automatically generating the URL based on the post title in WordPress?

Potential drawbacks of automatically generating the URL based on the post title in WordPress include long and messy URLs, which can negatively impact SEO and user experience. To solve this issue, it is recommended to sanitize and shorten the post title before generating the URL. 

function custom_sanitize_title($title) {
    $title = sanitize_title($title); // Sanitize the title
    $title = substr($title, 0, 50); // Limit the title to 50 characters
    return $title;
}
add_filter('sanitize_title', 'custom_sanitize_title', 10, 1);
