If anyone is an "AI vegan" it's me -- I don't use these tools at all, ever, because they are unethical. Telling me that they are delicious is not going to make them ethical.

Also, I will endlessly berate you about your use.

That's veganism, you're welcome.

that may be true environmentally but it disregards the damage to our brains and to our trust and integrity.

it's so depressing that those speaking up for have started pushing , because truthfulnes is so important.

we will no longer be able to push back on »those videos are fake« if videos, photos and texts we're sharing are slop half the time.

I get it, but even if I changed jobs the likelihood of that other job morphing to include AI use is high, so I'm not gonna feel _too_ guilty about doing the task I'm assigned, when it's sometimes literally "get me a CoPilot summary of X in format Y".
