       Show HN: AI-Less Hacker News
        
       Lately I've felt exhausted due to the deluge of AI/GPT posts on
       hacker news, and have seen similar grumblings. I threw together
       this frontend that filters out anything with the phrases AI, LLM,
       GPT, or LLaMa for use until the hype dies down a bit.  Before
       anyone asks, yes I did try to use ChatGPT to help, and while the
       code it provided was helpful, it needed some heavy bug-fixing.
       Edit: One other note I forgot to mention. The favicon is generated
       by Stable Diffusion, I asked it to generate an "Aritificial
       Intelligence Favicon", and then I added the red circle with line
       through it.

       | 
       | Could you also add a crypto filter, please? :)

         | Bah, I typed the regex match as "LLaMa" instead of "LLaMA".

         | For crypto, what keywords would be good to filter? I haven't
         | seen much crypto spam so maybe it's not a huge deal.

       | 
       | Perhaps use GPT to determine whether a post title is ML / LLM
       | related ?

           | 
           | Honestly, though, you can probably use something like the
           | Vicuna model that was on the front page yesterday without any
           | fine tuning of your own. You could even add some RHLF
           | feedback if anything slips through.

           | Seems like it would be a great feature for too-long titles,
           | too.
