Editing Talk:Ethics of artificial intelligence (section)

== Merge proposal ==

There's a new article on [[AI veganism]] which primarily discusses ethical issue, although I'm not sure that the article itself is support by the references it uses (there is some inappropriate synthesis and use of unreliable sources such as blogs). So, perhaps a selective merge to the broader topic? [[User:Klbrain|Klbrain]] ([[User talk:Klbrain|talk]]) 19:36, 25 February 2026 (UTC)

:[[Ethics of uncertain sentience]] could be an alternate merge target. [[User:Arlo Barnes|Arlo James Barnes]] 11:33, 26 February 2026 (UTC)
:The articles in ''The Guardian'' and ''The Conversation'', as well as some in the ''Times of India'', explicitly describe AI vegans or AI veganism. Such articles may increase, and even articles that don't use that terminology may still describe the same topic. I would prefer to try to improve the new article.

::If you know of sources which describe the same topic without using this term, it would make sense to rename and expand that article. Since most of the sources at that article did not discuss 'veganism', I have removed them as blatant [[WP:OR]]. The two sources left aren't really substantial enough to support an entire article.

:::"AI abstinence" may be a synonymous term. (Not to be confused with "AI abstention", which is a behavior of AIs.) A ''Fast Company'' [https://www.fastcompany.com/91429000/artificial-intelligence-abstinence-openai-llm article] uses it instead of "AI veganism", and the Euronews refidea uses both.

::::Ive met more AI environmentalists than vegans. But I think AI boycott is a better title, even though it pulls out the reasoning they are boycotting. Because technophobes and antivaxxer conspiracy theorists also boycott, or at least try, for other reasons.

:'''Support''' a merge. Likely not enough available sources for an article. Some of [[Special:diff/1341824116/1341915122|the content removed by Grayfell]] could potentially be moved to [[Ethics of uncertain sentience]] as suggested by Arlo James Barnes, for the rest, perhaps the article [[Veganism]] or [[Ethics of artificial intelligence]].

::[[WP:TIMESOFINDIA]] notes possible paid content, but I don't see any reason to expect it in this case. I added two refideas. [[User:WeyerStudentOfAgrippa|WeyerStudentOfAgrippa]] ([[User talk:WeyerStudentOfAgrippa|talk]]) 20:15, 6 March 2026 (UTC)
:'''Support''' merge, any of the proposed target articles are acceptable. This doesn't need to be separate unless the "veganism" analogy gets widespread coverage and study.
