This opinion piece is shit and it is pathetically trying to bring the term “AI Vegan” in vogue. This article adds nothing else to the conversation except regurgitating old shit.
AI and the News Industry: How The Guardian’s OpenAI Deal Signals a New Era.
The Guardian Media Group has entered into a strategic partnership with OpenAI, integrating its journalism into ChatGPT and rolling out AI-powered tools across its operations.
Completely non-biased on this subject I am sure.
The Guardian is supposedly “left” and yet they’re following the scripts handed down by right wing extremist techbrodudes.
It’s almost as if its “leftism” is like most “leftism” in the anglosphere: complete and utter performative bullshit.
I don’t use “AI” cause chat bots are stupid. AI has been fine for decades, the cars in Gran Turismo had sufficient AI to drive around the track. This modern definition is just horse shit for another attempt at Silicon Valley to claim they are superior than every other industry. Sam Altman is a fraud and modern “AI” gobeldyguk.
The ethical and environmental reasons are secondary to the fact that LLMs are figurative shit and the bubble will burst in a year or so and anyone who comes to rely on ChatGPT to do their thinking for them is going to be shit out of luck.

“Convenience” is what is gonna destroy the whole world.
This very thought ran through my head not 48 hours ago. I’m a little creeped out. 😬

Look at those weird hairshirters abstaining from the basics of modern life like vibe coding, bot art and the smooth sounds of The Velvet Sundown. I mean, what a bunch of freaky cultists, right?
Vegan? Gross. I prefer to be called an AI Luddite, thankyouverymuch.
I prefer to call “AI”, “trash”.
AI is also just… Trash.
It can’t do my dishes. It can’t vacuum the apartment. It can’t do my laundry. You can’t ask it information because it’ll just be wrong 20% of the time. It can’t automate all the annoying things in my life that get in the way of what I love doing:
Art.
But that’s the one thing that it’s designed to do.
But that’s the one thing that it’s designed to do.
And poorly, and unethically, at that.
Can’t make anything new either, just iterations of what humans came up with.
Comparing not using a computer program to abstaining from killing lmao
This is such a dumb headline
Given how the media and tech bros talk/think about vegans, it’s insulting propaganda.
AI vegans? I’m very much against AI but I’m not a vegan. I wonder if vegans like the term vegan used for this. I think I would be annoyed if I was one too
Veganism is a philosophy of minimising harm to animals as much as is practicable. There are no health reasons for being vegan, there are health reasons for following a plant based diet which vegans do instrumentally. A “vegan for health” would e.g. wear skins and fur.
So this article fundamentally misunderstands veganism. Then applies it inappropriately.
This sounds like a marketing attempt to align us modern Luddites with an already established “out group” to build a public perception against abstaining from planet killing slop generators.

Corporate news and media, especially in cases like this, has always been a tool to turn the uninformed public against educated dissenters. They targeted hippies in the 70s for speaking out about the military and prison industrial complexes and this is more of the same. It’s a cheap attack that always works.
Vegan here. This is stupid

There’s literally dozens of us!
I feel like the overlap of soulslike enjoyers and vegans here is rather high considering that Lemmy is pretty left-leaning overall and soulslikes are quite popular
I think there are multiple levels on which to be annoyed by this article. 😬

I like AI Luddite better.
Please don’t call me that.
And please don’t invite people to meet me, either.
And don’t meat me, either.
I’m vegan btw.
(fuck AI too)
