Please stop. Doing this the first week ChatGPT was released was cute. Now it's so so tired.
It really is surprisingly easy to spot.
The days of it being so obvious to spot have to be short lived.. no?
We've survived for years without that, therefore I think HN can survive without filters for AI/ChatGPT.

Pull yourself up by your bootstraps and use GPT to create a variant of HN with GPT stories filtered out.
Maybe you jest, but this is the future of the internet. Except instead of filtering by "is ai related" it will be able to "exclude by is-toxic, is political, is a whataboutism, etc"
Personally, I wouldn't want such a filter at all. It would exclude me being exposed to things outside of my comfort zone. I think that would be an unacceptable loss.
The posts don't annoy me so much as the people in the comments talking about AI with zero relevance to the topic, like "I just had a discussion with ChatGPT about [topic]" or "LLMs will revolutionize [completely unrelated thing]."

I don't think that's necessary. ChatGPT is just the current hotness and gets lots of submissions. Before LLMs, it was cryptocurrency. After LLMs, it will be something else. If we made a new tab for every topic that becomes hot for a while, there would be too many tabs for that to be useful. Just ignore the topics that don't interest you and wait. The overabundance of submissions on these topics will pass, and be repl…
On top of that, AI posts aren't even a majority of submissions by a long shot, at least not those that actually float to the front page... EDIT: I spot checked /newest. 4 of the 30 submissions are AI related and one of those four is more business (about AWS' new AI focused accelerator) than actually about the technology itself. Another is a Wired article about the ethics of AI research. One is a new tool that incorpo…
The day Steve Jobs passed away there was a moment in which the front page was just that. I believe I saved it, but can't find it right now.

I wonder why snapshots of the frontpage stepped up in frequency so distinctly on 2011-09-08
