Here's an extension I wrote to do the same idea, except it clicks the Hide link for each AI submission instead of just nuking the DOM node. This means when you load the front page again, HN will fill it in with articles from the 2nd page. Works pretty well. https://github.com/ColdPie1/enough-ai-on-hn

I think you should replace vibecode with vibecod so that you can catch vibecoding too.

Also add "vibe cod" with a space.

And add token, Gemini, OpenAI, llama

Oh it absolutely will have issues (for example it'd hit Maintenance in a title because of AI), it was something I did in a fit of pique because I opened HN one day and ~2/3 of the stories where about AI/LLM's - great if that is what you want, annoying as hell if you like the other stuff much more.

There are about a million ways to do it better but I can accept the odd false positive :).

Yea, it will also block words like email, daily, main, domain, train etc as the term AI is case insensitive without word boundaries.

I used gemini to update it to:

    news.ycombinator.com##tr.athing:has(a:has-text(/\b(?:A\.?I\.?|A\.?G\.?I\.?|LLMs?|GPTs?|TPU|NPU|RAG|MoE|RLHF|xAI)\b|Anthropic|agent|super-?intelligence|Blackwell|Cerebras|ChatGPT|Claude|Cohere|Command\s*R|Context\s*window|Copilot|Cursor|DALL-E|deep\s*learning|DeepSeek|ElevenLabs|Fine-tun(?:e|ing)|Flux|Gemini|GenAI|Generative|Gemma|Grok|Groq|H100|Hallucination|harness(?:es)?|Hugging\s*Face|LangChain|Llama|LlamaIndex|Midjourney|Mistral|Ollama|OpenAI|OpenRouter|Perplexity|prompt|Qwen|Runway\s*(?:AI|ML)|Gen-[1-4](?:\.5)?|Sora|Synthetic\s*data|token|vibecod|vLLM|Whisper/i)):xpath(. | following-sibling::tr[1])

Note that blocking token, prompt, agent, and harness will also block things like auth tokens, SSH agents.

Here's how mine looks using my method:
