If that term catches on I might start using AI …
remember to sear your LLM for 5 min on each side to really lock in the tokenization…
Millennial here I avoid AI like the plauge
“turning against”
i’m always skeptical of headlines that go (generation) does thing.
Just in: Current trends indicate that in three years there will be no teenage pregnancies in Gen Z
Good to see the kids still have some hope.
Since everyone here is talking about the connection between AI refusal and veganism… How’s your approach towards eating animals? I mean there’s more reasons to avoid AI. But I think when talking about climate change in specific… I try not to eat too much beef and I try not to use too much AI because both have a large CO2 footprint… And I think it’s also ethics considerations in both cases which make something undesirable. Do you do similar things or do you think it’s fundamentally different?
My approach is to just not fucking eat them. Pretty easy. Cheaper too.
“[Generative AI] constantly steals without consent from absolutely everything, violates privacy, and obtains money from it,” Marc, a 23-year-old AI abstainer based in Spain , told Euronews Next.
“It’s a tool of capitalism to maintain worker exploitation or even bring it up to the next level”.
That brings back some of my faith in humanity.
…I need to stop complaining about Gen Z.
Not to nitpick, but why complain about other generations at all?
There are awesome people everywhere and of all ages… a few goofbags too. 🤷
Fair point.
It was a trend, and I am a monkey on a keyboard.
“thinking vegans want ypu to use ai more often”
My teen has already been through the hype cycle. Was super into chatbots…until they were not. My preteen has never been even tempted, thought it was stupid from the get-go. From the mouth of babes…!
You remind me of the babe
We don’t give kids enough credit.
I remember news bringing up similar stuff when I was young, or like existential worries over TikTok more recently.
But… kids are sharp. They’re adaptable. They often sniff out stupid trends faster than adults do, especially artifical ones like AI hype.
But then again they did also fall into using stuff like tiktok and oversharing on it with their names and faces and installing the app on their phone. Not just tiktok but meta stuff like Instagram and Twitter.
I think best balance was during the phase where usernames were used on message boards and people were wary of sharing more beyond that on the Internet, and mantras like be careful what you share on the Internet was more common.
Now days, people are sharing lot of information that marketers and companies had to work really hard to try to get. Now companies get names, voices, and faces given to them without effort.
I think kids are not resistent to addictive design, sadly.
This is verging onto old internet nostalgia, and while I agree with the sentiment and love the old internet… it was a trash fire.
And not safe.
Someone vividly this out to me recently, and then I looked though archives of old threads. I was a moron on the internet in the 2000s, more than I realized.
I guess what I’m saying is: yeah, the Big Tech grip seems bad. It is bad. But today’s kids will probably deal with it better than we expect, and whatever kids get into 20 years from now will be unspeakable, I’m sure.
I’m honestly more worried about boomers, who don’t seem to be adapting to this stuff unless they were already IT folks.
I’d rather be AI vegan than AI delusional.
Abstainer would do a lot better of a job of giving credence to people actively avoiding AI usage due to ethical or environmental reasons; the sad reality of using either Luddite or Vegan to describe these people is due to the active negative messaging that people wanting to push unregulated technological change have charged these words with. Though, Luddite would be the best word to describe the people who are against using AI in daily life.
As it’s potential to cause harm is great; there are still cases people killing themselves ChatGPT Killed Again-Four more Dead, AI-Induced Psychosis for example. Healthy technological advancement is necessary for the benefit of all human beings, however, what we are seeing with “AI” isn’t following that model. It’s good that people are standing against AI, since nothing will change unless people fight against Silicon Valley’s agenda.
Gen Z are:
- AI dry
- AI detached
- AI free
- Anti-AI
- AI incurious
- AI indifferent
- AI aloof
- AI withdrawn
I prefer the term AI luddites
He says with seething jealousy.
The kids are alright
great sentiment!
…but the youngest of Gen Z is 20+ years old… definitely no longer kids.
let’s please not make the same mistake as with millennials?
The youngest gen z is ~13 and the oldest is ~28 so definitely some kids still there; majority adults, although if the whole ‘brain not mature until ~25’ metric is used then that’s a minority.
damn, it goes on way longer than i thought;
i thought it’s about 10 years, but it’s actually 15…
I am old enough that people in their early 20s still seem like kids to me ;p But I hear what you’re saying
Comparing the Anti-LLM and LIM movement to veganism is definitely something. Either way, age prohibition is not a good idea; rather, educating people about how to responsibly use technology is.
It’s entirely intentional, meant to label AI shills as the “normal” people and anti-AI as a fringe group, along with drawing the same negativity that veganism for some reason has among so many people in the US.
Both the AI and meat industries are very harmful to the environment.
Sure, but we don’t call renewable energy “vegan energy”
It was done in order to smear people not using AI the same, as the caricature of some vegans. You know, the people equating eating meat with cannibalism and murder. I also wouldn’t been surprised if the journalists used terms like “woke anti-AI”, or went with the headline “Gen Z cancel culture is hitting AI very hard”.
freedom energy
I think that’s oil
In fact, it is the opposite, as it makes one dependent on oil states. No one controls the sun and the wind.
I’m poking fun about this
I failed to notice. 😅
At least one has a purpose, which is nutrition.
