The luddites were artisans who didn't want to see their trades turned into low quality, dangerous factory work. luddite/luddism being pejorative is old propaganda created by factory owners who did not want them to unionize and own the proceeds of their labor. Not dissimilar to todays situation.
I think there's an arguement to be made that its one of the most successful smear campaigns in all human history
I was not talking here about the historical luddites. I was talking about luddism, in the contemporary, broader sense of bandwagony, uncritical, moralistic opposition to technological change, not the original movement. There's your clarification, thank you for your summary on these individuals.

Yes, this movement is a real problem, as the billions and billions spent on research and development of technology mostly goes to good things such as the milita-uhhhh no wait like consumer elect-ummm I mean surveil-wait just give me a sec
ooohhh such a wide stance
Anyone who appreciates craftsmanship of any kind
This statement of yours also proves that you don't spend a lot of time around those who criticize the ai movement. Most critiques are anti-capitalist in some regards. Your ignorance of that fact is not our failing, it is your own laziness and lack of curiosity laid bare for all to see. Embarrassing
Megg, i wish i could lie to you and say "I don't know those who criticize the rise of genAI". i have been flooded by these kinds of critiques, these kinds of users, all around this site and other sites, for at least the last few years. this is my analysis and my report. thats your disagreement, fine
Yes you are free to be completely wrong and pig headed about it
