I don't think thats a common position on this site. It'd be more accurate to say that people want balanced content.
I use AI quite a lot in my work, but a ton of AI content is just thinly-veiled marketing and not particularly interesting, IMO.

Being aware about something is not the same as actively participating in that for work and is also different from doing it for education or entertainment.

#34I previously worked on this, but made substanital improvements to the underlying implementation, and now the filters work much better. This is also a general purpose tool that you can modify/customize
It's slow

#36Earlier quoted context omitted.
you could look for the substring "AI" in the title and get 95% of the way there.
That would miss a lot of posts. Here's how mine looks using my method: https://imgur.com/a/P1qMIok 9 out of 30 posts have been removed. Steps: Install uBlock Origin Lite.

"Cursor" and "Copilot" are generic words sadly that you may find in other unrelated contexts, I'd take these out, and "prompt" is regularly used in headlines regarding political news.

#37When people ask for alternatives, I think they mean a different admin/investor behind the scenes too. Reddit and HN share the same investors. Unslop.news is still HN content and users. Lobsters is like invite-only HN - maybe even more insufferable than this place in that regard. People want something new, not the same corrupt people like Garry Tan and PG all the time. I'm sick of YC and HN - they are barely technical…
Maybe check out Mastodon, Matrix, (new) Freenet, etc.
Mastodon is just as bad, it suffers from the same problem as most of the Fediverse it inspired, admins of large instances bitchfighting with one another and holding their users hostage...

Mastodon's UI is horrible. At least for people who never used Xitter. Why did a new company (at a moment of Mastodon initial release) copied already ancient and by then pointless limitations? Character limit, linear feed, tags in text, no advanced formatting etc. And then there are registration problem (where to register), the retention/safety problem (what if a benevolent admin of your instance nuked your account, now what?), the discovery problem etc. I'm permanently baffled at the decision process of Mastodon developers.
