It is

> Ironically, this project was built with AI coding and uses AI to filter out articles about AI. Go figure.

"Made with <3 by ..." Yea it is

I did this on purpose, I do not think AI would leave that in lol

I actually like the look of this, I especially like being able to set a serif font instead of whatever default is on https://news.ycombinator.com.

This is the first attempt I've seen that seems to be working. I like that it's just a acting as a filter and the comment section is linked to the hackernews source. It's really satisfying to not see any Ai bs. I do like how hackernews is limited to 30 front page posts.

On the front page:

  Show HN: Hacker News, Without AI (unslop.news)

  Hacker News with reduced priority for AI driven content (sprinklz.io)

Three anti AI HN things on the front page at the same time. Two with the same title. This is spam.

I think it's useful, and maybe an indication of something positive.

Currently there is an article about feeling sad w.r.t. AI on the front page. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49661506 That one is filtered out too. Surely nobody is going to claim that it is slop?

I mean, that post /is/ entirely about AI.

The "I love AI" posts are just as bad as the "I hate AI" posts, and the same "this is my opinion on AI" posts are as bad as the onslaught of poorly-AI-vibed demo posts. Makes sense to filter them all out IMO.

Agreed, but filtering still mostly works by people upvoting or flagging.

It is espically god for AI researchers like me, is there any other resource, if you knowe would love to explore it

Does "without AI" mean without posts about AI, or without posts written by AI?

I think this is the former, but I want the latter.

otherayden 11 minutes ago | parent

I'm the creator, and it is the former. I will consider spending some money on one of the available "AI detector" APIs and making a similar site for the latter. My main problem with them, though, is that I don't think they work very well and even if they work now, I imagine they'd be perpetually behind the newest models

evgenysokov 22 minutes ago | parent

This is a filter for articles about AI, not articles written by AI. I'd actually use the latter. As for the "no AI here" badge, people will soon just put it up themselves. Like llms.txt: you add it, and nobody checks.

to certain people, it's all one-in-the-same. the real motivations behind this are a kind of existential human narcissism, a kind of denial-based coping mechanism grounded in a world-view that this industrial-revolution-scale change on society is somehow a passing phase.

unslop.news IS slop btw: https://github.com/leiDnedyA/hn-without-ai
