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.
Yeah… It’s just abstaining from something. Veganism didn’t invent that. Dumb headline
I hate the term AI vegan. I prefer mistechnitinoimosyne. More classy.
Missed opportunity to coin the term “Aitheist” Fools.
VAIgans.
People who use the term “vegan” for somebody they consider extremist, ascetic, or annoying are really telling on themselves.
Side note: one of the most genius rebrands of all time was the way fake leather (which is often made from polyurethane, a type of plastic) suddenly became aspirational “vegan leather”.
Most vegan leathers are made from compostable materials, because (surprise, surprise!) many vegans are also environmentalists.
There has to be a catchier name than AI vegans…
Also too ambiguous of a term, could also mean an ai chatbot that pretends to be a vegan person.
yeah, lol. that’s what i thought it meant when I first read the post
Yes, it sounds like marginalizing normal reasonable people.
ha so I’m a double vegan
“Newspaper which uses AI to write its articles concocts derogatory term for people who doesn’t use AI”
Wow, thank you so much for sharing this. What a major blow to the Guardian’s credibility
Imo vegan shouldn’t be seen as derogatory. I’m not one, but got a lot of respect for most of em.
it shouldn’t, but years of lobbying and demonization online certainly have made it so
The better term would be “LLM gobbling fuckheads” for those who use that stuff and believe it has anything to do with “AI”
sloppers
Perfect
Journalists constantly trying to be the origin of a term.
“refuse” lol as if there were a general requirement to use this shit
This caught my eye as well. Haha. Some people are constantly looking for a machine to rage against.
We don’t need to invent new terms, like ‘AI Vegan’, when we have a perfectly good term already: Butlerian Jihadist.
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.
“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?
I don’t agree with the framing, either, but they’re drawing parallels between people not using something due to a principled moral stance. (As well as some not-so-subtle implication that these people are holier-than-thou, too.)
Let’s not call it that
how to belittle and minimize a very serious thing: call any protesters of it a " ___ vegan"
They are “journalism vegans”. They are choosing to abstain from actual journalism for clickbaiting, herd mentality, and personal lack of skill reasons.
Why are you dissing on vegans? Veganism is legit, bro.
I’m not dissing on them. I am simply aware of how they are perceived in society.
