Its neither for me, i just dont like getting wrong information and AI is giving tons of it.

Also its not intelligent it just fucking sounds so

[–] haloduder@thelemmy.club 5 points 2 days ago

I agree. AI would be way more useful if it gave some kind of indicator of accuracy, or even just saying "I don't know."

Right now, AI only doesn't have an answer when the goons who programmed it told it not to give one.

I don't use A.I. because I've had nothing but negative interactions with A.I. Customer service bots that fail to give adequate responses, unhelpful and incorrect search result summaries, and, "art," that looks like shit hasn't made me want to sign up for ChatGPT or Gemini. For most people, this isn't a moral stance, it's just that the product isn't worth paying for. Stop framing people that don't use A.I. as luddites with an ax to grind just because tech bros spent billions on a product that isn't good yet.

It’s quite common for me to be annoyed, angry, or upset at a headline writer. Then there’s the feeling I got reading “Meet the AI vegans.”

Whole new level.

"AI vegans" media trying to put an enemy up again. Smh

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

AI isn't the meat, jack. It's slop.

[–] Waldschrat@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Can we please stop coming up with words that describe that we do not do a thing like it is not normal? Just like having to call yourself an atheist because you do not believe. You should call yourself a theist if you believe, because you actively do it. Call yourself what you are, do, or see fit, not what you are not.

It's not cool to use "vegan" like this.

I just don’t have a use for it. I already am generative AI.

"Have you ever been called an AI vegan?"

"No... Shit no! I believe saying something like that'd get your ass kicked!"

[–] sixty@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 days ago

Let's not call it that

[–] Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 31 points 3 days ago (5 children)

I don't use it because I have no trust in it.

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 24 points 3 days ago (4 children)

Sounds like you are not eating enough small rocks a day. You should eat 1 small rock a day.

I want to avoid it but with google making sure that search results get worse and worse I'm in a bit of a pickle. Other search engines still feel lile they're a bit behind though

No, I didn’t make it up. Although I rather wish I did, because it’s quite catchy, isn’t it?

No, it isn't, it's fucking stupid. The author was kind enough to link the source of that shitty idea, and the AI/vegan parallels are, per said article: ethical, environmental and wellness concerns.

Gee wiz, I sure never saw people with those 3 concerns in regards to anything other than veganism!!!

People just going about their business living their lives as they have for many years...

Silicon Valley: Hey fuck you. Also I came up with a dumb nickname for you.

[–] HexesofVexes@lemmy.world 37 points 3 days ago (13 children)

I applaud folks like this - they make a choice and stick with it. No "I'll never use AI to generate art but I vibe code to save time" hypocrisy. No "I use it to help me with maths, but I'd never use it to steal artistic work".

Just straight up "it is an environmental hazard, it is unethical, not engaging". Should be called "AI Ethicists" rather than "AI Vegans".

AI vegan is not a thing and shall never be.

The correct term is Technophile. Anyone obsessed with tech would never hand it off to a third party to do when they can go through the joy of learning themselves.
