The book that I Am Legend (same name) is from is what started it all. I saw the original movie. The Omega Man.
The Omega Man was actually a remake of the Vincent Price movie The Last Man on Earth

Interesting. Both of those and the newer I Am Legend were all made from I Am Legend written in 54.
I Am Legend is a 1954 horror fiction novel by American writer Richard Matheson. It was influential in the development of the zombie genre and in popularizing the concept of a worldwide apocalypse due to disease. The novel was a success and was adapted to film as The Last Man on Earth in 1964, as The Omega Man in 1971, and as I Am Legend in 2007, along with a direct to video 2007 production capitalizing on that film, I Am Omega. The novel was also the inspiration behind the 1968 film Night of the Living Dead.

this was even more confusing in 28 days/weeks later. like.. they were still alive. they just had super rabies or some profanity and they never once turned on each other. but you know.. billions of rats were running the fk away from them out of fear or being eaten.
i get it as far as a story plot goes, though. zombies that eat each other are not scary. the ones in i am legend (the book) would attack each other. the ones that were more zombie than vampire anyway. the fully conscious ones that retained their memories didn't do that.
The logical answer to this is that the virus wants to spread. It can't spread to something already infected, so it seeks out the uninfected. And, if you're going to viciously kill something, why not make it a human?

My guess is they only crave living blood and tissue which zombies are no longer that.

Dont worry I will give my opinion anyways.

Maybe because that would be cannibalism.

Heh, I thought of that. But we are dealing with a now ignorant organism. Except for in the original work. In it, the zombies are thinking zombies. They're just very ....ummm primal. Kind of like that sci-fi movie where many of the people have adapted.

Yeah doesn't really make much sense. We don't really know much about the zombies metabolism do we? I didn't really pay a lot of attention to the episodes in the CDC, maybe they explained that there.

I feel like the question has already been answered and Reapist is just being argumentative about Omega Man now to continue the thread
