Can those AI slop projects have a reserved tag on HackerNews? So many in the past few weeks I wouldn't have clicked and wasted my time on if I knew it was just some vibe-coded garbage.

I see the same thing, and believe that ironically AI is going to bring about the return of good search engines as we’re currently drowning in slop and need a real way to filter it.

How would a search engine filter that out?

		you'd need a tacit agreement that real humans who care tag and filter things for the search engine. like a webring or stumbleupon. I imagine it's easier to bolt this on to an existing product by adding "tags" and a "AI likelihood score" or something. or we can bring back gopher and just not index slop sites?
