I mean, abstaining from animal products makes someone a vegan, right? If you abstain from AI products then it would follow that you’re an “AI vegan”.

    It follows, but it is also feels like click bait.

    A definition of vegan is:

    A vegetarian who eats plant products only, especially one who uses no products derived from animals, as fur or leather.

    There is an environmental parallel, and it made me read the article to see what they were on about -- so I guess it worked.

    To be clear, I am very pro environment (I live in it); I just feel like this is crossing the streams of related, but completely different movements, isn't particularly helpful.
