Meet the AI vegans. They are refusing to use artificial intelligence for environmental, ethical and personal reasons
-
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.
-
I can only imagine someone came up with AI vegan after they decided to eat steak that evening while thinking they're the ones who are pressed by vegans...
-
I applaud folks like this - they make a choice and stick with it. No "I'll never use AI to generate art but I vibe code to save time" hypocrisy. No "I use it to help me with maths, but I'd never use it to steal artistic work".
Just straight up "it is an environmental hazard, it is unethical, not engaging". Should be called "AI Ethicists" rather than "AI Vegans".
Yeah, I too hate those hypcrites who complain about the massive environmental impact of AI, then drive a 10 mile round trip to buy a burger made from a cow raised on soy.

AI is the new crypto. It will appear to die off but the aspects that work will be integrated into everything.
-
AIniks, it's something like refusenik, chainik and beatnikm yeah I'm not sure if it's anti, or pro or something else, it's also hard to say
I think analogian just sounds like vegan and it's for people who prefer analog meatbased wetware.
Synth- as in synthetic, against synthetic fakeness
A cogstaining synthless analogianSynthfree ?
analog
Makes more sense now, I only picked up one the first 2/3 and thought of other things

Would you happen to be a vegan who is also anti-car by any chance?
If so, I can recommend fuckcars on ml as they share your viewpoint.

What aspects of crypto have been integrated into everything?
-
Starting it with "AI" is already misleading. Whatever the noun is should be preceded by "Anti-AI."
I dunno, the use of AI Ethicist fits as they're not against the concept of generative AI as a whole, they're against unethical generative AI (in terms of stolen training data and environmental harm).
If the world transitioned to a post-IP (intellectual property) society (as we need to), with AI eating less power, then AI Ethicists are unlikely to object.
-
TIL I'm a lot of thing vegan... also, not a vegan.
-
Carnivores: vegetable vegans.
This works so well specially for those people that refuse to touch anything "not cooked" in their plate or that is green.

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.

No I'm a meat eater who is anti-car! I'm more getting at how people have latched on to the energy use of AI models without realising the huge energy usage that goes into their daily lives.

The US government.

What bullshif us this?
A. I vegan is a nonesence title.
How about " people who don't want the world to end even faster tell corps to fuck off"
-

I think it's scam. Before crypto scam was in couple of places but now it's everywhere.
-
I'd rather be called a Luddite than ai vegan
-
Aigen or Aibstenant something for a term. Vegan is not right.
-
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.

It's a lead. Because they've already made vegans mockworthy

Definitely a good point to raise; thanks for doing so!
Here's a fun one - where do you stand on those forced to commute dur to housing prices near inner city work (e.g. I live in near poverty paying a mortgage for a small place near where I work due to poor public transport so I can walk to work - how does this figure into the anti-car vision? Is it an employer issue, a government issue, a personal sacrifice, or something else entirely?)
