Every time I scroll through tech social media lately, I feel like I'm reading the exact same ChatGPT-generated templates over and over again.
"In today's fast-paced digital landscape, it is a testament to..." 🙄
I wasted 20 minutes this morning skimming through long-form corporate posts that said absolutely nothing. It’s making it exhausting to find actual technical value, real developer insights, or organic engineering conversations.
So, instead of just complaining about it, I decided to fix it.
I'm building a lightweight, highly-focused Micro Chrome Extension designed to sanitize social feeds (specifically LinkedIn and X).
How it works under the hood (conceptually):
- DOM Mutation Observer: It listens for new posts as you infinite-scroll down your feed.
- Heuristic/Regex Filtering: It checks the DOM text contents for common AI-cliché triggers, engagement-bait formatting, and high-perplexity patterns.
- The Action: It automatically collapses or blurs out the flagged posts, keeping your feed strictly populated by human thoughts.
I want to make sure it functions perfectly before launching it on the Web Store, and I'd love some feedback from fellow devs.
If your timeline is also driving you crazy and you want to test the early beta or look at the logic, drop a comment below or leave a reaction, and I'll send you the details!
What are the specific ChatGPT trigger words that drive you the most insane? Let me know so I can add them to the filter array. 👇
