I've considered writing a Firefox extension that just hides any mention of AI, LLMs, etc.

But in some sense how would you do so ? would you check for a div element which looks for AI
then technically this post which is not about "AI" but rather "non AI" also gets blocked , but I do believe that this might be a good idea

HN strongly reflects whatever thing SV is all hyped about. Today it's AI. Yesterday it was cryptocurrency. I don't think it's that hard to ignore the items that don't interest you -- there are plenty that aren't about The Current Hotness -- and if you wait long enough, the topic will stop being so trendy anyway.

Hmm care to elaborate.
Though I hate AI , I am not exactly sure if this would go away or not because I am not the most betting man ever , and there have been times when all humanity was stunned by their future (Imagine if you asked someone in 60's / 80's they'd say we would get floating cars but we got internet at our fingertips ) (I don't know its hard to predict future)

Filtering out the AI related stories is one thing/challenge (the 'focus' is a wave, a trend), but otherwise, there are still plenty of submissions/discussions about other topics, I mean, you can still join us in those threads, upvote those threads. Get involved there!
