AI is the new crypto. It will appear to die off but the aspects that work will be integrated into everything.

Wishful thinking. Crypto never got anywhere anyway. I am already seeing AI slop on billboards and all.

Crypto went as far as a YouTube ad for me. I am seeing everyday examples of AI use and generated slop.

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...

HA!

I feel like I should be annoyed at the headline, but honestly it's clever. Veganism isn't just a diet, but an ethical framework on minimizing harm so this fits all three aspects in the articles.

  • I support artists who had their work stolen as part of dataset, it's largely the same reason I don't eat animals, it's all about consent. Being harmed without consent is always wrong.

  • Likewise the environmental footprint of meat and AI are massive and unnecessary. The carbon footprint between meat and plant protein is massive, just like the difference between building more data centers and supporting existing artists.

  • AI is bad for your mental health, we don't really have complete research on what exactly AI does to our brains but I've seen enough people thinking they "unlocked sentience", became "digital gods" and started AI "relationships" to steer clear for my own protection. Not dissimilar to the studies that show a plant based diet is better for your heart and immune system. I'd still be eating plants even if it were bad for my health, I care more about the ethical side, but existing research very much shows it as a net positive.

Neat concept.

AI vegan is not a thing and shall never be.

The correct term is Technophile. Anyone obsessed with tech would never hand it off to a third party to do when they can go through the joy of learning themselves.

Now we wait for article “meet genocide vegans: people who are against Israel’s genocide against Palestinians based on ethical reasons”

I've never used AI, even when wanting to give it a try. There was either a queue or a fee, or must click-wrap agree to terms and conditions for free two months and I wasn't going to do those.

I never did an NFT either.

The only AI I'd ever want is something like a VI from Mass Effect. Runs locally and harvests absolutely zero data.

[–] foodconsumer@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

There has to be a catchier name than AI vegans...

I hate this timeline

[–] Corelli_III@midwest.social 5 points 4 days ago

propaganda like this is so fucking sad

colonizers don't have anything to value in their culture and they don't have a future so they want to rip on people who aren't buying their garbage
