Does "without AI" mean without posts about AI, or without posts written by AI? I think this is the former, but I want the latter.

I'm the creator, and it is the former. I will consider spending some money on one of the available "AI detector" APIs and making a similar site for the latter. My main problem with them, though, is that I don't think they work very well and even if they work now, I imagine they'd be perpetually behind the newest models

This is the first attempt I've seen that seems to be working. I like that it's just a acting as a filter and the comment section is linked to the hackernews source. It's really satisfying to not see any Ai bs. I do like how hackernews is limited to 30 front page posts.

This is a filter for articles about AI, not articles written by AI. I'd actually use the latter. As for the "no AI here" badge, people will soon just put it up themselves. Like llms.txt: you add it, and nobody checks.

to certain people, it's all one-in-the-same. the real motivations behind this are a kind of existential human narcissism, a kind of denial-based coping mechanism grounded in a world-view that this industrial-revolution-scale change on society is somehow a passing phase.

Submissions of articles written by AI should be flagged on the upstream HN, as should be comments written by AI.

Yes please, take all the bleeding edge tech stories out of the aggregator I go to for bleeding edge tech stories.

While I get what you are saying, from my perspective, there is no longer the same breadth of content on HN, with LLM related content taking up a significant portion of the top posts. Today is actually a pretty good day, with I think 7/30 being LLM related.

I just don't like having to dig through multiple pages of LLM posts to find other types of tech news. Even if I do read a few here or there, I can't filter them out to look for other stuff. There is other tech out there beyond AI.

On the front page: Show HN: Hacker News, Without AI (unslop.news) Hacker News with reduced priority for AI driven content (sprinklz.io) Show HN: Hacker News, without AI (hcker.news) Three anti AI HN things on the front page at the same time. Two with the same title. This is spam.

But have you heard of https://unslop.news? If you look at HN through that, the above AI-related spam disappears.

Or maybe it reflects a genuine desire from some subset of regular HN readers? Is it spam when three different articles about the latest Anthropic model make the front page? Or the latest Apple product release?
