If I was implementing a monitoring system I think I would implement it the other way: make it a list of messages that are normal and shouldn't be cared about by the sysadmin. That is what I did with my apt upgrade log filter at least. As long as the monitoring system can have new messages to ignore added by the sysadmin, eventually it will be silent enough to be reasonable most of the time.

Alternatively, perhaps we can get several thousand sysadmins to read all their dmesg, mark each message as normal/weird and train an AI model on the results.

This doesn't work anymore when you want relatively simple analyses such as the rate of all USB resets / disconnects per machine and across all machines.
