I know it's controversial during this incredible AI hype cycle on this site, but as a AI skeptic and increasingly neo-Luddite, I've reduced the amount I spend on this site by 90% since the start of the year. If only I could add my userscript on my iOS Firefox to just hide any post containing the words "GPT", "AI" or "LLM", but alas, I guess I will have to be productive instead of slacking off reading HN.

Have you checked out any of the HN apps for iOS instead of reading with a browser? I'd expect some of them to include a keyword filtering feature.

#13Given how much money YC investors have in the GPT/AI/LLM space, I wouldn't expect it to slow down any time soon.

- The luddites: it's just hype.
- The doomers: AI will kill us all.
- The AI indie hackers: dunno about AI, I'm trying to make money with it.
Somehow the intersection is right: AI is not really smart, but it will replace a lot of human activity anyhow.

I did see at least one account that was posting a generated comment seconds after each submission posted.

I've asked many times for HN to allow tagging, but my sense is that it's never going to happen.
Another idea is to use a spam filter on an RSS feed of HN articles. I did this decades ago for my personal feed, using bayesean spam filters, and it worked well enough.
Finally, you could use an AI to filter for you.

I see 3 kind of people, all common on HN: - The luddites: it's just hype. - The doomers: AI will kill us all. - The AI indie hackers: dunno about AI, I'm trying to make money with it. Somehow the intersection is right: AI is not really smart, but it will replace a lot of human activity anyhow.
Anything that you can make into a fairly formulaic job for someone who's not really interested in doing it or improving too much is probably not very intellectually demanding (but perhaps may be a bit demanding in world perception or actuation than current AI/robotics systems).
And I believe that is "most jobs."

- The luddites: it's just hype — because I will kill it with fire before it takes over.
