"Newspaper which uses AI to write its articles concocts derogatory term for people who doesn't use AI"

This makes about as much sense as calling Linux users "Windows vegans".

Choosing to not use AI isn't some wacky contrarian position, it's a tame position that can easily be justified. (Don't want to use AI? Then don't.) If anything, trying to assert that constantly using AI for everything would be the new normal is the wacky position.

Im also a gun vegan, a car vegan, a facebook vegan, an exercise vegan (unfortunately), a windows vegan, ... just not actual vegan.

I feel like thats a bad way to use the word vegan.

how to belittle and minimize a very serious thing: call any protesters of it a " ___ vegan"

We don't need to invent new terms, like 'AI Vegan', when we have a perfectly good term already: Butlerian Jihadist.

"refuse" lol as if there were a general requirement to use this shit

"AI vegans"? I knew guardian was already bought by tech bros, but wtf is that phrasing lmao I dont use AI either, simply because it is wrong more often than not and I am still capable of googling myself, but being cautious equals to being vegan in tech bro eyes?

We let environmentalism become an individual issue, and that was a mistake. Can we not do this for AI? It's a society-wide problem, not something you can solve by measuring your own personal AI footprint.

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

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

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.

Journalists constantly trying to be the origin of a term.

Missed opportunity to coin the term “Aitheist” Fools.

Its neither for me, i just dont like getting wrong information and AI is giving tons of it.

Also its not intelligent it just fucking sounds so

I hate the term AI vegan. I prefer mistechnitinoimosyne. More classy.

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

So normal decent human beings

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

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.

While billionaires keep using their private jets.

AI isn't the meat, jack. It's slop.

"AI vegans" media trying to put an enemy up again. Smh

People who use the term "vegan" for somebody they consider extremist, ascetic, or annoying are really telling on themselves.

Side note: one of the most genius rebrands of all time was the way fake leather (which is often made from polyurethane, a type of plastic) suddenly became aspirational “vegan leather”.

Most vegan leathers are made from compostable materials, because (surprise, surprise!) many vegans are also environmentalists.

Can we please stop coming up with words that describe that we do not do a thing like it is not normal? Just like having to call yourself an atheist because you do not believe. You should call yourself a theist if you believe, because you actively do it. Call yourself what you are, do, or see fit, not what you are not.
