They are choosing to abstain from using artificial intelligence for environmental, ethical and personal reasons. Maybe they have a point, writes Guardian columnist Arwa Mahdawi

    There has to be a catchier name than AI vegans…

      Yes, it sounds like marginalizing normal reasonable people.

        Most vegans are normal reasonable people too.

          Agreed, and they are also marginalized

            … not because they’re called vegan tho.

              Right, but the word transfers the marginalization of vegans to ‘ai vegans’.

                Only if you personally marginalise vegans.

                So for reasonable people it won’t marginalise them, and changing your behaviour for unreasonable people makes no sense.

                  Me? The marginalisation of a group depends on my personal conceptions???

                  Society marginalises groups, not a single person. Its a cultural phenomenon that affects these groups whether we like it or not.

      Also too ambiguous of a term, could also mean an ai chatbot that pretends to be a vegan person.
