This opinion piece is shit and it is pathetically trying to bring the term “AI Vegan” in vogue. This article adds nothing else to the conversation except regurgitating old shit.
I don’t use “AI” cause chat bots are stupid. AI has been fine for decades, the cars in Gran Turismo had sufficient AI to drive around the track. This modern definition is just horse shit for another attempt at Silicon Valley to claim they are superior than every other industry. Sam Altman is a fraud and modern “AI” gobeldyguk.
The Guardian is supposedly “left” and yet they’re following the scripts handed down by right wing extremist techbrodudes.
It’s almost as if its “leftism” is like most “leftism” in the anglosphere: complete and utter performative bullshit.
Please don’t call me that.
And please don’t invite people to meet me, either.
And don’t meat me, either.
This is such a dumb headline
Given how the media and tech bros talk/think about vegans, it’s insulting propaganda.
Not all instances of refusing something bad are of the same class.
AI is also just… Trash.
It can’t do my dishes. It can’t vacuum the apartment. It can’t do my laundry. You can’t ask it information because it’ll just be wrong 20% of the time. It can’t automate all the annoying things in my life that get in the way of what I love doing:
Art.
But that’s the one thing that it’s designed to do.
But that’s the one thing that it’s designed to do.
And poorly, and unethically, at that.
Can’t make anything new either, just iterations of what humans came up with.
AI vegans? I’m very much against AI but I’m not a vegan. I wonder if vegans like the term vegan used for this. I think I would be annoyed if I was one too
Vegan here. This is stupid
Souls enjoyer and vegan, now I’m wondering how many of us are out there
There’s literally dozens of us!
I feel like the overlap of soulslike enjoyers and vegans here is rather high considering that Lemmy is pretty left-leaning overall and soulslikes are quite popular
This sounds like a marketing attempt to align us modern Luddites with an already established “out group” to build a public perception against abstaining from planet killing slop generators.
Corporate news and media, especially in cases like this, has always been a tool to turn the uninformed public against educated dissenters. They targeted hippies in the 70s for speaking out about the military and prison industrial complexes and this is more of the same. It’s a cheap attack that always works.

I think there are multiple levels on which to be annoyed by this article. 😬
Vegans are against animal cruelty and exploitation. While there certainly overlap between AI and side effects impacting animals (like sucking up all the fucking water), i think this is a pretty gross title and using the term vegan for any other cause is stupid/ sensationalist.
They basically are going with “vegan means they don’t eat animal byproducts so an AI vegan doesn’t use AI”. But if you just are not eating animal byproducts then you’re just on a diet and are not Vegan. So i can only assume AI Vegan, if “vegan” was used correctly here, would mean you’re against AI cruelty and exploitation. I don’t think that’s what you guys are about
But stupid titles like this get reactions which is what they want
I like AI Luddite better.
Comparing not using a computer program to abstaining from killing lmao
Vegan? Gross. I prefer to be called an AI Luddite, thankyouverymuch.
I prefer to call “AI”, “trash”.

“Convenience” is what is gonna destroy the whole world.
This very thought ran through my head not 48 hours ago. I’m a little creeped out. 😬

I’m vegan btw.
(fuck AI too)
The ethical and environmental reasons are secondary to the fact that LLMs are figurative shit and the bubble will burst in a year or so and anyone who comes to rely on ChatGPT to do their thinking for them is going to be shit out of luck.
Look at those weird hairshirters abstaining from the basics of modern life like vibe coding, bot art and the smooth sounds of The Velvet Sundown. I mean, what a bunch of freaky cultists, right?
