Google’s generative AI gets “can cats be vegan” right at first….
but THEN decides to throw in a completely wrong opposing opinion, which some people who REALLY want a vegan cat will absolutely cling to.
I do think that this is somewhat deeper than a genAI problem, and a situation where there really is a misinformation campaign on the vegan side and it's not adequately matched by good information. Google's old algorithms would also fail.
You can design a vegan diet for a cat that can meet their health needs, but it's both somewhat complicated & will have some inherent platability challenges, so the question really becomes: What's the point?
Even a vegan like Hannah Shaw, aka The Kitten Lady, is outspoken about cats' need to eat meat. There is zero point except being a self-righteous jerk to trying to get them to eat plants.
"Owners who fed their pet a plant-based diet reported fewer visits to the vet and less medication use"
In other words, nuts who don't feed their cats a suitable diet also don't take them in for proper medical care. Turns out that Christian Scientists report fewer doctor visits too I bet!
“Every time I take Peter Singer to the mean old vet for the diarrhea and weight loss and listlessness, they give me shit like ‘oh he’s starving, look he’s blind now.’ I don’t need that negativity!”
