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.

Thanks to this post, I'm going to adopt the title of Butlerian!

I worked in telecom for years, and recently left because my company decided to automate out a bunch of positions by using their shiny new AI. It suggested carrying 300 Amps at 50 volts (DC) several hundred feet with 14 gauge cable. (Electricians, go ahead and laugh.)

I went back to school, learning IT support. Most of my classmates are fresh out of high school, and they're all using Chat GPT like my generation uses Google. But instead of googling the answer and then figuring out how to make it work and testing the results, they just stop.

Chat GPT says to use this config? They use it. Of course it doesn't work.

Over and over, I have classmates asking me why their Copliot generated code isn't giving them the right answer, or why their server process is failing to start.

I fear for the safety of a world where the tech support is provided by people who never learned how the tech runs, never learned to read, test, experiment, fail, and try again...

So yeah, Butlerian. points at my face

tho im definitely on the side of the good ais, i know exactly what you are talking about. Had a guy begging me to go over his code, which he had gotten from chatGPT, which didn't work. Was extremely annoying. Like all my effort learning coding myself is so I can troubleshoot this guy casually asking chatGPT whatever not wanting to learn coding himself.

and that's not even getting into the rampant theft involved in AI image generation

Maybe find another instance to regurgitate your bulshit in

It's the simple truth, and the sooner we grapple with these issues the sooner we can make AI better for everyone
