> Lobsters has a funny obsession with being anti-AI, but the most commented posts on the front page are usually AI related.

The top five most filtered-out tags¹, excluding meta², are (in order): vibecoding, dotnet, php, emacs, ai. Two of the five are AI-related. The top spot (vibecoding) has 60% more people filtering it than the second spot.

² In the sense of being about the website itself, not Facebook’s parent company.

It’s not. Neither is php or dotnet. I meant to write “two of the five”, not “three of the five”. Fixed. Sorry about the confusion.

		I'd argue dotnet is about AI. The official blogs and conferences have been hijacked by AI products, much like VS Code itself.
