No, I didn’t make it up. Although I rather wish I did, because it’s quite catchy, isn’t it?

No, it isn't, it's fucking stupid. The author was kind enough to link the source of that shitty idea, and the AI/vegan parallels are, per said article: ethical, environmental and wellness concerns.

Gee wiz, I sure never saw people with those 3 concerns in regards to anything other than veganism!!!

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

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

[–] zeca@lemmy.ml 6 points 4 days ago (6 children)

Yes, it sounds like marginalizing normal reasonable people.

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

And here i am not using it because I'm old and cranky.

[–] joe_archer@lemmy.world 48 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I just don't use it because it's shit and doesn't do anything I need any better than I can do myself in the same time.

I'm choosing to abstain because it's shit. The ethical things are just a bonus. It produces inaccurate information and bland soulless images.

Shitty click baity title

[–] devfuuu@lemmy.world 25 points 6 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (5 children)

So I'm not the only one who refuses ro touch it?

Around me and everywhere it's getting insane that it feels like there's literally no one who hasn't used it or use regularly for all kinds of shit.

Aigen or Aibstenant something for a term. Vegan is not right.

[–] UltraBlack@lemmy.world 13 points 5 days 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

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

Makes "nocoiner" seem tame by comparison.

[–] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 14 points 5 days ago (3 children)

There's a huge push right now to salvage the AI hype bubble as people realize the tech can't live up to the promises. They are also trying to prevent regulation.

This includes the pushes to humanize the tool, like saying it deserves rights or that there may be some kind of racism against the tool.

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

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.

'AI vegan'....

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

[–] Goldholz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 5 days ago

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

[–] MTK@lemmy.world 15 points 5 days ago (15 children)

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)
