Chrome extension to hide AI/GPT related submissions from HN
Hi All, since I am consistently overwhelmed with all the all the ai/gpt news on the hn front page I built this simple extension to filter out such articles and show them on the extension popup if I'm in the mood to read. I am interested in the topic but just tired of reading the similar discussions (local models, llama on mac, ai taking away our jobs, etc) all the time. Every few days I search for topics on hn.algolia.com and go over any exciting development. Ironically, since this was the first time I built an extension chat-gpt helped build 90% of the extension since . Also once…
Chrome extension to hide AI/GPT related submissions from HN launched on April 21, 2023 with 99 votes, #532 of 4,853 launches that month and more than 90% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 3 years on.
In plain words
This Chrome extension filters AI and GPT-related articles from Hacker News' front page, moving them to a popup for optional reading. Built for users interested in the topic but fatigued by repetitive discussions about local models, job displacement, and similar themes, it lets them control when to engage with AI news. The extension also hides "Show HN" posts on the same subjects. Available for Chrome and Firefox, it was created by someone who found the constant stream of similar AI stories overwhelming despite caring about the field.

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.
