People who use the term "vegan" for somebody they consider extremist, ascetic, or annoying are really telling on themselves.
Side note: one of the most genius rebrands of all time was the way fake leather (which is often made from polyurethane, a type of plastic) suddenly became aspirational “vegan leather”.

I installed it locally on my computer to help me with resolving some coding issues if I’m stuck, write cover letters for jobs, and help me organize ppt decks. No information is shared, I’m only using local computing resources, and I’m not propping up a failing business model.
Guys it's fine, you're overreacting. I only use local instances of AI and I always ask it for consent before using it to deepfake porn of my favorite celebrities in their debut roles. You vegans are overreacting and taking it too far. Humanity has been using AI for like 6 months now and our bodies aren't biologically ready to go back to writing our own homework. You really need to check your privilege; we can't all afford fancy tools like GIMP to make our own art.
ha so I'm a double vegan
Why does this use of the "vegan" word sound so condescending?
I have local self hosted AI that runs in my solar system. I don’t use AI because it ROTS your brain. We are not the same.
I'm an LLM freegan, I guess. But I'm cutting back too, the usefulness peaked.
Yo
I refuse ever touching an AI-driven app or feature, having seen too much slop.
I'd rather call myself a rejectionist than something called fancy.
