It does feels like a good use of AI (ML, really) would be to write a "disaggregator" for HN that tags submissions by category and lets users browse the bits they care about. Wish I had time to do it....
In the meantime, if you install the browser extension, you can get the tags directly in HN itself. Would that address the ui issue?

Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hacker-news-tags/i...
Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/hacker-news-t...
If you can figure out how to add the tags while keeping down the visual bloat I would consider a switch.
I don't think a TL;DR can replace most articles that appear on HN, but it can certainly tell me whether the article is interesting, much better than any headline ever could. Especially so if the TL;DR is written by a neutral AI with no interest in making me click anything, and hence no qualms about surfacing the most important information to the top.
I actually tried to do this, but it was with GPT-3.5, and I didn't exactly like how it worked. I should look at this again, I wouldn't be surprised if the code I used back then could just be ported over to 2.5 Flash and produce much better results.
