"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

The label isn't accidental.
It's designed to frame this as a fringe movement, and AI use as "normal".
“Gambling vegans are turning against giving their paycheck to casinos.”
Also kind of frames vegan as bad at the same time...
Better call them meat luddites ;-) ?
Meat luddites sounds like a grunge folk band from Victorville California.
No way! Meat luddites is my lesbian slurpcore band!
That works for vegetarians but not vegans. No wonder it's confusing considering the similar naming.
It's a bad label that.
Taking two words and just ramming them together, instead of using the plethora of words are our disposal, doesn't really work in English and probably translates poorly to other languages. All of a sudden, vegan doesn't mean vegan anymore. Dictionaries and thesauruses exist. There are thousands of people who have degrees in English, in writing, in journalism. We don't need to reduce the English language to clickbait words. Because "AI" and "vegan" sound like SEO terms.
At best, if someone hears that, they're going to think, "What, they don't like AI-generated cows?". They'll write it off as stupid. And then you have folks that just see the word vegan, and then they're just done listening. It muddies both terms. And in both cases, it'll largely be viewed as a fringe trend that people who spend too much time online are doing, and it'll likely die off as trends do.
It becomes less a movement/stance/voice, and more "that thing kids put on their social media for a few months because they were all about it for that one summer". It's like if someone said "I'm a racist vegan"... Has a lot less punch than "fuck racism"
