Mastodon poll finds AI avoidance not correlated with veganism

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A poll conducted on Mastodon revealed surprising results regarding user attitudes towards AI and dietary choices. Contrary to expectations, a significant majority (87%) of respondents indicated they avoid AI, aligning with the Fediverse's general sentiment. However, the poll also found that users who do not avoid AI were more likely to be vegan or vegetarian (48%) compared to those who avoid AI (34%). This suggests a potential inverse correlation between AI avoidance and veganism/vegetarianism, challenging the initial assumption that individuals who identify immorality in one normalized activity would do so in others.

IMPACT Suggests user sentiment on AI is not monolithic and may not align with other ethical considerations.

    Thank you to all 261 respondents! That's more than I expected. The results were somewhat surprising! Goes to show that the masses aren't so easily predicted. Now, I think we all expected that the majority would be # AntiAI — we are on the # fediverse after all — and in this case …
