I'm going to get downvoted/flagged but I feel like we need a new type of "Show HN/Tell HN" etc for "New AI Model Available". Front page is tedious these days.

Sure, they retarget ads they think you might want to see, but the difference is when using Google you are actively looking for something, not passively.
