Tiny question. What are ai haters called? (sh.itjust.works)

I've seen the occasional nonimage post here and didn't know where else to ask this.

On another forum, a downvoter of things, with apparently support from other accounts, revealed that they are downvoting things 'because they have to do with ai'. I have heard from an admin that they have that same problem here.

But when I look it up and try to find a reference for who they are, the closest thing I come up with is Luddite, which refers to people who generally hate technology. I know antifa people are proudly antifa; same with anarchists. But what is this 'anti ai' type of person that seems to have started cropping up? I asked the person directly, but unknown whether they will respond with an accurate reference.

Reminds me of vehement transphobes specifically joining trans communities so they can downvote things; except instead of polar opposite of lgbtq, it is that equivalent except toward ai, creations of ai, and ai community. Encountered it just today and seeking a term to place on what is apparently 'the enemy' to this exact niche we are in.

If they hate technology in general, they're luddites.

If they hate AI for all the good, legitimate reasons to hate the current "AI" trend, they're just rational.

You might want to look up why the luddites hated technology.

What about the irrational haters?

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 points 6 months ago

I believe the technical term is "idjit."

Luddites don't hate "technology" in general, they had (and have) specific targets.

Meanings change. People don't usually refer to the specific group of political dissidents worried about the cotton gin when they say it. Just like if you were to call an authoritarian dickcheese a Nazi.
