I would very much like to enjoy HN the way I did years ago, as a place where I'd discover things that I never otherwise would have come across.
The increasing AI/LLM domination of the site has made it much less appealing to me.

#2Feature request: HN could support a tag or label for categorizing a post. This would allow for filtering trivially, and creating views based on participant interest.

I second that emotion.

Wouldn't be hard to train an LLM to do it!

#5This post is turning up at least every other day. The last few times my reply was "AI is 4/30 or 5/30 of the front page, it's not such a big deal", but today it is 9/30.
I am wondering what the ratio is for VC and angel dealflow in the valley right now.
Hanging out on the "new" page and upvoting quality non-AI articles is an effective method of resistance.

#6Prevention of bots and other kinds of automation takes precedence over any thematic changes.
If that is done first, we might not need to separate subjects.
HN lacks even the most basic aspects of human verification.

I suppose an extension is the answer, classifying and customizing the user’s view accordingly with a pluggable LLM config.

#8Unfortunately, this is simply a by product of the fact that this is both news and the state of the world.
Like most it too will come to pass (as it is further adopted in the mainstream and becomes commonplace).

#9curious, couldn't AL/llm related content also have interesting new information? im not referring to ai generated sloppy articles. more so the deep tech behind it. personally im super interested in machine learning and love it when i come across such links here.

#10No, I have zero interest in LLM and ignoring the posts has worked fine for me. The political posts are causing more damage IMO. There is also a "hide" button if you keep seeing a lingering high activity post.
