    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.

      How about we don't call that being an AI vegan and just call it a moral objection. That's fucking ridiculous, that's a term designed to make not using AI for that reason look bad and preachy.

            You're not wrong. I am skeptical of AI, and I worry if that makes me a Luddite. I think refusing to use it for anything probably does qualify one as a Luddite. Using it for limited purpose with oversight is the correct approach.

                  The big corporations desperately want AI to be popular because they've thrown literally insane amounts of money at it and still don't know how to monetize it.

                  There's going to be a huge push to make it seem like everyone loves it and it's weird not to use it constantly

                  It's going to go horribly and come off like that "fellow kids" meme, exactly like this headline

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

                    The possibilities are infinite if you are a netaphor vegan.

                          Ironically enough they're the same trolls as the vegan drama.

                          They don't care about the topic, they just want to troll and they've been up/device banned from all the major social media, so they'll always be here

                            He's probablly talking about shareholder "value", AKA inflated stock prices, rather than actual value.

                              Terrible choice of words, veganism deserves better than that.

                                Get out of here with your nuanced take. This is Lemmy, we hate AI it uses up 1bazinga gigalitres of water each time you look at it.

                                Now excuse me while I go play some video games and search Google, those things use zero electricity.
