'AI vegan'....

Where I come from, saying something that stupid will get you killed.

[–] glibg@lemmy.ca 19 points 1 month ago

Come on Guardian... why frame it like that? Folks using AI should be called out as strange.

I just don’t have a use for it. I already am generative AI.

Reading this thread, I wonder if the term is intended to divide a largely environmentalist opposition.

Makes "nocoiner" seem tame by comparison.

The better term would be "LLM gobbling fuckheads" for those who use that stuff and believe it has anything to do with "AI"

The irony of environmental activists using the word "veganism" while not being vegan 😒 (being vegan is one of the most significant reduction to greenhouse emissions that is within your personal choice)

I don’t use ai either. But because it’s fuckin stupid. It’s not even ai. It’s a glorified sorting algorithm.

What a terrible choice of words. They’re immediately assigning political placement and party to the idea of avoiding AI use instead of appealing to all of humanity on this topic.

Plus, it’s a silly metaphor.

No an Image generation is not ten times the impact pf a Google search, a ChatGPT query is. Image generation is probably a lot more.

[–] UltraBlack@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago (10 children)

I want to avoid it but with google making sure that search results get worse and worse I'm in a bit of a pickle. Other search engines still feel lile they're a bit behind though

So normal decent human beings

[–] CH3DD4R_G0BL1N@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 month ago

I’ll just stick with calling myself “old man yelling at clouds” for the double meaning and so I’m not a vegan of any kind, thanks.

[–] sirico@feddit.uk 11 points 1 month ago

Journalists constantly trying to be the origin of a term.

[–] Pudutr0n@feddit.cl 11 points 1 month ago

I only eat non-sentient AIs too.

[–] candyman337@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

How about we don't call that being an AI vegan and just call it a moral objection. That's fucking ridiculous, that's a term designed to make not using AI for that reason look bad and preachy.

I can only imagine someone came up with AI vegan after they decided to eat steak that evening while thinking they're the ones who are pressed by vegans...
