So I have to stay up to date on AI stories just to know what buzzwords I should filter so I don't see AI stories?

That's how any filtering service works

Sounds to me like you want a deeper version of this that uses AI instead of keywords to help filter out AI stories.

    I think we're well past that stage. Using AI to escape AI. Does that count?

      I think there’s another step here: Using AI to build tools that use AI to escape AI. Eventually: using AI to build tools that use AI to escape AI using tools that use AI.

        Clearly the US needs a constitutional amendment to preserve the right to keep and bear AI tools. Then we can arm the victims of AI tools with their own AI tools, for self-defense. If we're lucky, AI will send its AI thoughts and AI prayers in carefully calculated quantities.

        Better yet, such expressions would be categorized as tokens of condolence at no expense to the public. Subsidized by the arms manufacturers.

...Yes? This is how this tool is coded. Machines do what one codes them to do, not what one wants them to do. If you're interested in making a more intelligent tool you can do it. This tool does exactly what @simonw says it does.

A tool was offered that can accomplish what you want, with a very small amount of added effort on your part. No, you do not have to "stay up to date on AI stories"—if you see one, add the keyword to the list and move on. There are not as many buzzwords as you seem to be implying, anyways. If you are dissatisfied, you are welcome to build your own intelligent version (but I am not sure this will be straightforward without the use of AI).

Our brain decodes info based on context and extrapolation This submission we're commenting on could be about filtering out any data, not just AI stuff. Politics, crypto, AI etc. Or more minute like "Trump" "fracking" "bitcoin" etc. In any of these scenarios, with a tool designed to filter out content based on limited context, when would you ever be perfectly satisfied? would you like AI to help you build the perfect context-filter model?

  And certainly in our anti-politics filter we’d want to include the filtering of stories that promote the extreme political position that tech is somehow detached from politics! (Especially Silicon Valley startup tech that owes so much to the local politics and economy of California). Which is to say, filtering politics out is absurd, one person’s extreme politics is another’s default view of the universe.

    In a similar vein, I’ve had people assert (in all seriousness), their English had no discernible accent because they were American. It’s a similar kind of mindset.

Add the buzzword when you see a story you don't like. Or settle with it filtering 90% of the AI content and just don't click on whatever remains, I doubt you expect the top story to be interesting to you 100% of the time.

sounds like you need an AI to sort out and predict what you won't want to see ;)

Isn't it enough to bury yourself under the rock? - you want the fact of your having done so concealed from you also? But what about the fact of wanting that?

How about a version with LLM integration that detects "AI" related stories in a more clever way? /s
