Vegetarianism is such a bad label lol Just say GenAI-free; organic software (written by organic agents as opposed to silicon-based ones); or, literally anything that actually means what you wrote.
Agreed. I was expecting to find AI-generated vegetarian recipes.
Actually, I wonder if they would be any good.

Is it a bit ironic that, while I certainly believe the author did not use gen AI to create this post, it reads like the most mindlessly AI generated post ever?
While you're at least trying to use the term in a positive light, it's not hard to imagine people using the same terms "AI vegan" and "AI vegetarian" in a disparaging way. The implication is "vegetarians/vegans are preachy/crazy/annoying/arrogant" and using that to describe someone who's anti-AI. E.g. "Oh don't listen to Bob, he's just an AI vegan" or "These annoying AI vegans keep protesting outside and blocking traffic". Now vegans/vegetarians are dragged into something they have nothing to do with, AND you've given detractors an easy way to mock you.

To me, "vegetarianism" is a much better label than "organic" or "GenAI-free". People who buy "organic" and "free range" do so because they believe it's better: higher quality, healthier, etc. (Whether they're right depends a lot on the requirements placed on that label and how those requirements are enforced, but that's tangential here.)
On the other hand, vegetarianism used to be this weird, niche thing that people made fun of. Vegetarians had to fight for acceptance. This is exactly how I feel about this new world that I find myself in, where AI is being shoved down everyone's throat and where developers (like me) who resist it are treated like a weird, niche group of outcasts.

To draw an incredibly stretched comparison to vegetarianism instantly tells me everything I need to know about the way you think. It's overwhelmingly sanctimonious.
Given the capabilities of upcoming LLMs, I suspect that by mid-2027, most competent companies, outside specific niches, will not hire and might fire any non-senior “generative AI vegetarian” software developer. Note: I agree with others that another term should be used instead of ‘vegetarian’. “LLM vegetarians” do not hold the same moral values as vegetarians.
