Aigen or Aibstenant something for a term. Vegan is not right.
"AI vegans"? I knew guardian was already bought by tech bros, but wtf is that phrasing lmao I dont use AI either, simply because it is wrong more often than not and I am still capable of googling myself, but being cautious equals to being vegan in tech bro eyes?

Come on Guardian... why frame it like that? Folks using AI should be called out as strange.
I don’t use ai either. But because it’s fuckin stupid. It’s not even ai. It’s a glorified sorting algorithm.

The better term would be "LLM gobbling fuckheads" for those who use that stuff and believe it has anything to do with "AI"

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)

There it is. The stupidest headline I've read all week.
Reading this thread, I wonder if the term is intended to divide a largely environmentalist opposition.
Makes "nocoiner" seem tame by comparison.
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.

What a terrible choice of words. They’re immediately assigning political placement and party to the idea of avoiding AI use instead of appealing to all of humanity on this topic.
Plus, it’s a silly metaphor.

No an Image generation is not ten times the impact pf a Google search, a ChatGPT query is. Image generation is probably a lot more.
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

Journalists constantly trying to be the origin of a term.

Also its not intelligent it just fucking sounds so

I’ll just stick with calling myself “old man yelling at clouds” for the double meaning and so I’m not a vegan of any kind, thanks.
So normal decent human beings
I only eat non-sentient AIs too.
