We are being dizzyingly bombarded with submitted content and information about GPT and AI by the hour, and one way to filter this excess is to create a tab only on the subject as exists with Show and Jobs.

I don't think that's necessary. ChatGPT is just the current hotness and gets lots of submissions. Before LLMs, it was cryptocurrency. After LLMs, it will be something else.
If we made a new tab for every topic that becomes hot for a while, there would be too many tabs for that to be useful.
Just ignore the topics that don't interest you and wait. The overabundance of submissions on these topics will pass, and be replaced by whatever tomorrow's New Hotness is.

The posts don't annoy me so much as the people in the comments talking about AI with zero relevance to the topic, like "I just had a discussion with ChatGPT about [topic]" or "LLMs will revolutionize [completely unrelated thing]." No, you did not "discuss" anything, and I don't care, please engage with the topic.

Might as well add anything remotely Elon related or vaguely political to that list. I miss
hacker news.
Emotional screeching about nontechnical subjects I can get any old place on the internet. These here be where we screech about technical subjects dagnabit.

Funny thing: I asked ChatGPT last week to write me a script to fetch the latest HN posts and notify me on Telegram when a post matches a given keyword. Keeps me updated without wading through the ChatGPT posts.

If there's going to be tabs/filters, having something to filter out general news and politics would be a much higher priority to me.
We've survived for years without that, therefore I think HN can survive without filters for AI/ChatGPT.

As an AI language model, I cannot make changes to the website or its features. However, I can suggest that you reach out to the website's administrators and suggest this idea to them. You can also try using the search bar or filters to narrow down your search to specific topics or keywords related to GPT and AI. Additionally, you can consider subscribing to specific subreddits or forums related to GPT and AI to receive updates on these topics.

The day Steve Jobs passed away there was a moment in which the front page was just that. I believe I saved it, but can't find it right now.

Imagine a news group on explosives research, and how they felt after the nuclear explosives demonstrations in the 1940s. Probably they would have been so bored by it. Nothing but articles and discussions about nuclear explosives every day jamming up their news feed.

'hackers have been trying to make superhuman intelligence forever and now a confluence of factors puts it in reach, and the discussions about it are jamming up my hacker news feed'

Sure, long as the sorting is also done by an AI. Like an AI category cloud.
No changes to HN needed. Go for it.

It's simply a reflection of how popular the subject is right now. Like it or not, the "hacker news" of the present is AI, AI, and more AI.

I recall some sites enabling filtering for iPhone content shortly before that hit the market. I don’t think this is a bad idea.

Maybe you could prompt ChatGPT to write a browser extension for that...
