    Would there be some way to see what percentage of the front page meets those qualifications? I don't browse /new very often, so I have less of an idea of how representative that is. It would be interesting to see if they trend similarly.

    Thanks for the cool project!

      Yeah, that's probably the main limitation right now. This is measuring /new, so it's every submission rather than just the stuff that makes the front page.

      lcamtuf's survey (linked in the footer) was looking at the front page, and the number there was quite a bit higher. So there's likely some effect from voting, although I haven't dug into that yet.

      I think Algolia has a way to filter for front-page stories, which should make it pretty easy to add. I haven't tested that yet though but will certainly look into it!

    At first I thought about how many posts were written by AI

    you could fetch the text from linked blog posts over time and run 'em through pangram, I bet >20% of blogs linked on HN today are totally LLM written

    it would be cool to use embeddings to categorize into like 10-20 categories and get a giant pie chart

      Not a bad idea. I'd look at creating a separate page for embeddings. Crypto and NFT's would be the next best candidates to add. Something for me to work on over time.

    And so comes the AI comments as many as the AI posts just saying for fun

      If you read a lot, you start to get a feel for phone typos vs AI hiccups. I can guarantee that is post was made by a brain designed to eat berries in a cave. Almost all the another posts look a bit scary.

      I think I misunderstood - how many posts were about AI vs how many posts were written by AI.

      I obviously am suffering from berry fog.

        Exactly yep. Maybe even more when time machine has been invented by that AI bot in far future I meant the number of comments by AI
