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.

And lastly turn it into an idea…

Misautotechnicist - One who subscribes to that idea. I.e. A personwho shows hatred toward technology that is able to act on its own.
