Show HN Project Filters AI Stories Out of Hacker News

A developer has posted a Show HN for hcker.news, an alternative front-end that mirrors Hacker News while stripping out AI-related submissions. The exclusion is driven by a URL parameter (?ai=exclude), suggesting the filter can be toggled rather than being permanently baked in.

The project is essentially a curation layer over HN’s existing feed, aimed at readers experiencing fatigue with the volume of AI and LLM content dominating tech discussion. Beyond the headline and the filtered link, the submission carries no detailed writeup, so specifics about its filtering method, accuracy, or open-source status aren’t stated.

Its significance is more cultural than technical: it’s a small signal of a backlash against AI-saturated feeds, and a bet that a meaningful slice of the community would rather browse a tech aggregator with the AI hype filtered away.
