Doesn't the flag button serve that purpose?

I don't think it does exactly. I edited to clarify.
Of course it does. If it’s slop it should be flagged (I say this after reading the edited submission).

In the meantime you can avoid at least some of the slop by using https://hn-ai.org/ or one of the other anti-slop extensions or alternative sites.

It doesn't seem to work all that well, I still see posts about AI. Maybe it should read the text content then use a classifier to see whether it's AI related or not, basic LLMs work pretty well at that and you honestly could just use a classical AI classifier like Naive Bayes filter too.
