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.

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.

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

I am a AI Freedom Fighter.

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

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.

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...

I prefer Neo-Luddite. There's a few aspects of modern tech I eschew - AI/LLM bring one of them.

While billionaires keep using their private jets.

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.

Well shit, I didn't know they had a name for us. That's cool.

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

People who care*

Missed opportunity to coin the term “Aitheist” Fools.

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

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