A cohort of young, environmentally conscious people labelled ‘AI vegans’ is leading the charge against ChatGPT and other forms of generative AI.

    Comparing the Anti-LLM and LIM movement to veganism is definitely something. Either way, age prohibition is not a good idea; rather, educating people about how to responsibly use technology is.

      It’s entirely intentional, meant to label AI shills as the “normal” people and anti-AI as a fringe group, along with drawing the same negativity that veganism for some reason has among so many people in the US.

      Both the AI and meat industries are very harmful to the environment.

      EDIT: Since people don’t seem to believe me:

      Cows emit an average of 220lbs of methane per year, which is about 28x as potent a greenhouse gas as CO2 (https://www.ucdavis.edu/food/news/making-cattle-more-sustainable).

      According to the EPA (https://www.epa.gov/greenvehicles/greenhouse-gas-emissions-typical-passenger-vehicle), the average car emits about 4.6metric tons of CO2 per year.

      (220lbs methane x 28) x 0.00045 t/lb = 2.772 metric tons of CO2.

      Basically, 2 cows have more greenhouse effect than the average American car. And that doesn’t even account for the deforestation caused by cattle ranching (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0959378021000595)

      Look, I hate AI too. I’m not saying one is worse than the other (that’s probably very hard to determine) but don’t kid yourself about the effect of meat on the environment.

        Sure, but we don’t call renewable energy “vegan energy”

          It was done in order to smear people not using AI the same, as the caricature of some vegans. You know, the people equating eating meat with cannibalism and murder. I also wouldn’t been surprised if the journalists used terms like “woke anti-AI”, or went with the headline “Gen Z cancel culture is hitting AI very hard”.

              In fact, it is the opposite, as it makes one dependent on oil states. No one controls the sun and the wind.

        At least one has a purpose, which is nutrition.
