This website counts titles containing the standalone word "AI", case-sensitive and word-bounded. "OpenAI" doesn't count. "AI-powered" does. There's a toggle for a wider vocabulary: artificial intelligence spelled out, LLM, GPT, and model and vendor names. Some quick stats: - 14.4% of new HN titles this year, against 10.9% in 2025. On the wider vocabulary, 21.9% and 16.1%. - First month above 1% was Oct 2016. Above 5%, Feb 2023. Above 10%, May 2025. - Over the last five years the quietest month was Jan 2022 at 0.8%. The peak was Feb 2026 at 15.9%. - 13.6% on weekdays against 12.4% at weekends. - Show HN runs highest of any category at 19.8% this year, which makes this post part of the number. As of this post, today is at 15% for the standard filter and 19% for the extended.
