    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.

        It was short lived. It is often called the Grauniad because of poor quality typos etc. historically.

    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.

    So I’m not the only one who refuses to 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.

    I selective use AI for low risk applications.

    I can use it to reskin a picture to a water painting or whatever for the purpose of using it as an icon in a smart home app or similar.

    i also use it to clean audio for memes with friends.

    At the moment its not reliable to solve actual problems. I simply don’t use to for those purposes because it sucks.

    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!!!

    • Teetotalers: alcohol vegans.
    • Straight edgers: drug vegans.
    • Recycling: waste vegans.
    • Solar power: power vegans.

    The possibilities are infinite if you are a netaphor vegan.

        This works so well specially for those people that refuse to touch anything “not cooked” in their plate or that is green.
