Hi folks,

I've noticed that a lot of people here seem exhausted by the amount of AI news on the front page. I shared hcker.news here a year ago and it has since gained a ton of filtering features, including a dedicated AI filter, so I figured I should tell more people about it.

The filter works in three passes:

  1. Known AI-related keywords and domains are filtered automatically.
  2. An agent reviews the remaining articles and removes those it identifies as AI-related.
  3. I make the call on uncertain cases.
You can also exclude GitHub repos posted to HN that show signs of AI authorship. The filter checks:

  - Commit messages for agent attribution
  - Contributors for known coding agents
  - Repository files for agent instructions and configs

No filter will be perfect, but this is as good as it gets. lmk what you think. Cheers.

I also built a browser extension to do this client-side. It just auto-clicks the Hide links for any story with an AI-related term. Source & Firefox add-on link here: https://github.com/ColdPie1/enough-ai-on-hn

There are a lot of ways of tackling this, but the only way to truly filter everything out is to update the list constantly.

My filter currently has 146 keyword filters and 101 domain filters. Even with those, I've had to filter almost 400 exact urls on top of that in the past two weeks!

Definitely a lot of approaches. I like that mine is dead simple & runs in the browser; but an advantage to a deeper inspection like yours is it will catch those endless AI thinkpieces that don't obviously stick an AI term in the title. Pros & cons!
