Harm to people and animals

Some AI vegans have drawn parallels between the use of data without consent to train AI, and the harm inflicted on animals through animal husbandry. Similarly, they have drawn attention to how animal husbandry and AI training/usage both impact the environment. [1]

On an individual level, some AI vegans posit that both the consumption of animal products and the usage of AI negatively impact the consumer or user. [1]

In practice

Some people avoid using large language models altogether, because they believe the training process is harmful to people or the planet. [2]
