Time to add option in Hacker News "AI excluded Show HN"
9•tukunjil•1h ago
Bored of AI advertisement. Thinking to stop visiting hacker news just because these LLM projects and updates. There should be an option to users which will exclude AI related things. Even if that going to be done using artificial intelligence in backend, no problem. I’m satisfied!

The new HN rule[1], re: ai, is limited to comments. I think this is a fair balance as more actually useful projects shared here are built with increasingly more ai. Comments and discussion is one thing, projects another, with the later falling into a realm where I'm more concerned with the quality than how it is arrived at. Slop HN has decreased significantly, in part from low reception (not limited to HN) and in part because many have stopped using Show HN.
We did a Show HN a few weeks ago (updated from 4 years ago) and have no AI, LLM, or anything and got... zero traction. We're on ProductHunt today but everything that is trending is all AI stuff. So that is where we're at.
