They are choosing to abstain from using artificial intelligence for environmental, ethical and personal reasons. Maybe they have a point, writes Guardian columnist Arwa Mahdawi
Vegans are against animal cruelty and exploitation. While there certainly overlap between AI and side effects impacting animals (like sucking up all the fucking water), i think this is a pretty gross title and using the term vegan for any other cause is stupid/ sensationalist.
They basically are going with “vegan means they don’t eat animal byproducts so an AI vegan doesn’t use AI”. But if you just are not eating animal byproducts then you’re just on a diet and are not Vegan. So i can only assume AI Vegan, if “vegan” was used correctly here, would mean you’re against AI cruelty and exploitation. I don’t think that’s what you guys are about
But stupid titles like this get reactions which is what they want
