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

[–] zeca@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yes, it sounds like marginalizing normal reasonable people.

[–] CXORA@aussie.zone 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Most vegans are normal reasonable people too.

[–] zeca@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Agreed, and they are also marginalized

[–] CXORA@aussie.zone 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

.... not because they're called vegan tho.

[–] zeca@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Right, but the word transfers the marginalization of vegans to 'ai vegans'.

[–] CXORA@aussie.zone 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Only if you personally marginalise vegans.

So for reasonable people it won't marginalise them, and changing your behaviour for unreasonable people makes no sense.

Me? The marginalisation of a group depends on my personal conceptions???

Society marginalises groups, not a single person. Its a cultural phenomenon that affects these groups whether we like it or not.

Also too ambiguous of a term, could also mean an ai chatbot that pretends to be a vegan person.
