Hmm. I don't see it that way.
As a comparison: I gave up eating meat and all other products of dead animals in about 1983. I still don't, nearly 45 years later.
I don't see that as in any way legitimising the meat industry. I see it as proof that you can, it's not that hard, and you will be absolutely fine and will enjoy doing it.

@lproven@social.vivaldi.net Congrats on abstaining from eating meat all these years, but I don't think they're the same. For many, meat's tasty, it's nourishing, it's cheap and available. People have to eat something, and meat is an appealing option. But there's no real appeal to AI slop if you understand why it's bad, and people wouldn't starve if they couldn't make or consume it. By presenting AI something to abstain from, you imply there's something attractive about it that you'd be sacrificing.
