@kett Good point! I am vegetariam, since quite a while. And I try to avoid AI, whereever possible (I am no programmer). Both because of ethical reasons, and because I simply don't want to contribute to the System behind.

@kett From this perspective, there's a lot of parallels. There's lots of reasons to both go vegan and abstain from LLM usage. Some people are motivated by environmental/climate concerns. Some put ethical concerns first. Some underline better outcomes (health, better code), also because they feel like it's easier to convince people this way than hoping for them to take responsibility for their life choices.

@kett I like the points being made in this post. And yet the comparison is a bit off. Eating meat was half culture-historically required to live a life which continued over hundred thousands of years. Until people got smarter - well: in a way but I digress. Inventing AI with all the impact in your post wasn't born from selective pressure to survive against the coldness and hunger but a completely new invention and people are pushing the world into a knife with closed eyes. No cultural history, only near-world-ending capitalist moneymaking. I am vegan because at some point in my life I couldn't turn a blind eye on these things. Like you, I do accept that different people are on different journeys. While I accept people use AI, it doesn't mean I have to keep silent about it.

@kett someone should do a study that examines potential correlations between these ethical viewpoints, as an anti-ai covid-cautious vegan myself
