I refuse ever touching an AI-driven app or feature, having seen too much slop.
I'd rather call myself a rejectionist than something called fancy.

Yo
That's really stupid.
Why does this use of the "vegan" word sound so condescending?
I think some AI use is clearly worth the costs (like helping with scientific research or accessibility), some clearly isn't (like generating spam), and much falls in a gray area where reasonable people can disagree. So do I think it's ethical to use me? In many cases, yes - but I understand why thoughtful people might conclude otherwise, and I don't think they're wrong to avoid AI if they've weighed the considerations and found the costs too high.
Not AI vegans. More like LLM deniers. They know how to use it, they know what it does, they know how to trick it, they know how to abuse it.
On my list of "dont's", inspired by Luke Smith, I do not use AI.
I played around on an AI image generating website for a while. Eventually got bored with it.
