        Shit take, the more AI-made media is online, the harder it is for AI developing companies to improve on previous models.

        It won't be indistinguishable from media made with human effort, unless you enjoy wasting your time on cheap uninteresting manmade slop then you won't be fooled by cheap uninteresting and untrue AI-made slop.

        “All AI-generated content is self-evident” is an unfalsifiable claim. It might also be true, but you don’t and can’t ever know.

                If the human you're fucking consented, then consuming their fluids is vegan. Hell if they consent, eating them would be vegan too.

                Animals do not consent to having fluids extracted or their lives taken and flesh consumed. Animal agriculture keeps animals in filthy, torturous conditions too, which no animal would ever consent to either.

                        It was kept in captivity by you though, which is not it's natural habitat so any choices it made were, arguably, under duress.

                        If you lived by a creek and regularly recognised a fish swimming by, and one day this fish killed itself in front of you- you still shouldn't eat it as fish contain a lot of parasites and there's very likely also something toxic in the water causing the fish to harm itself this way.

                        But yeah, sure, hypothetically: if for a year or so you knew a wild fish that lived in an unpolluted and ecologically healthy body of water, and one day this fish chose to kill itself in front of you. You could, if you really wanted to eat a suicidal fish, eat the fish and say it was vegan because the only harm that came to the fish was through the un-coerced choices of said suicidal fish.

                            Effectively I believe we are. During my MFA I realized we were simply copying as a form of craft. It's all we do in arts. Any great work feels like just one continuous story retold again and again.

                              Yup, these things are still garbage for >90% of all applications people are jamming them into. Breathed a sigh of relief when my company CEO said he doesn't see us using AI for more than can center routing for at least the next several years.

                                I mean, abstaining from animal products makes someone a vegan, right? If you abstain from AI products then it would follow that you’re an “AI vegan”.

                                Abstaining from animal products is just vegetarian. Veganism requires an extremely strict adherence to a very specific set of rules concerning animals.

                                  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.

                                  They're trying to pretend it's real AI rather than extremely complicated text prediction. Hell, the less knowledgeable among them might even believe it. LLMs are a sort of language pareidolia.

                                      Vegetarians can eat cheese, which is an animal product.

                                          You've probably heard this before but do consider alternatives like Startpage and Qwant. It's not flawless but I've found it's definitely better.
