That's because the author seems to be a journalism vegan, writing vegan and self-awareness vegan.

Its so wacky out there. When I read something like this I'm sure its The Onion. And its not. Then I read a headline about US politics and its totally believable , alas its The Onion.

I refuse to believe this title is anything other than engagement-bait, personally.

Seems to me you‘re a BS vegan.

Yeah, pretty disappointing to see from the Guardian.

You'd be surprised how much more serene your headspace can become if you stop expecting anything beyond stupidity, incompetence and negligence as the default human behavior.

Imo vegan shouldn't be seen as derogatory. I'm not one, but got a lot of respect for most of em.

Wow, thank you so much for sharing this. What a major blow to the Guardian's credibility

They use to mock us with “Luddite” but the Technologists looked into that actual movement (rather than the caricature) and agreed, “yeah sure, like them”. That took the sting out of the pejorative, so they picked another mocked group to connect it with.

It's like how they put the word gate after something to say that it is a scandal involving the former word.

Somesort of political scandal involving road maintenance? Oh yes well that's roadgate then. Even though the Watergate scandal was in fact it scandal in the watergate hotel, rather than a scandal about water.

I'm sex vegan. Cry about it virgins

Awe so the article author has a vendetta against vegans got it.

But it makes people come off as extremely annoying. So that's working.

There’s been recent pushes in that regard, investment in AI shit has been enormous but the financial payoff for anyone besides hardware manufacturers remains nonexistent. So investors and corporations have recently redoubled their efforts into trying to get everyone to use it in the hopes that this somehow will make them profitable.

yeah, this is 1000% deliberate manufacturing consent

It's a lead. Because they've already made vegans mockworthy

For most people, this isn’t a moral stance, it’s just that the product isn’t worth paying for.

Wait till you see the price of a burger in another five years.

It's fair to say that the environmental and ethical concerns are significant and I wouldn't look down in anyone refusing to use AI for those reasons. I don't look down on vegetarians or vegans either - I don't have to agree with someone's moral stance or choices to respect them.

But you're right, LLMs are full of crap.

Customer service AI sucks, I think we can all agree to this

But if you really believe that ChatGPT and Gemini is mainly for generating art, then you're completely wrong

I also try, but it is invoked on my behalf. For instance, at work if I make a pull request now multiple AI bots are summoned to give an analysis of my code changes. It's extremely verbose and annoying, and I think basically nobody reads it because all it does is just spam the comments section with way too much text.

I vehemently hate OpenAI, ChatGPT, et al. At least it's funny when it summarizes my changes as significant improvements that improve code maintainability. I guess getting glazed by the bot in a way my manager can see is helpful to my career? Though honestly he probably also doesn't read that shit. So glad all this energy is wasted for nothing.
