After staring at Google trends (all basically empty for the proposed names here) and double-checking some friends' sense of the zeitgeist, I didn't get the clear sense that there was any specific name that had caught on. Some of the discussion indicated that the question was ambiguous, but none of the proposed names seems to have caught on for any of the plausible meanings. Compare to some other terms that achieved obvious consensus (slop, vibe coding, etc.), and I concluded the most reasonable conclusion was 100% "no special name".

Do you mean people opposed to currently existing AIs due to their effects on jobs etc. or people opposed to developing ASIs due to existential risks? Plenty of people are the latter but not the former (e.g. Zvi Mowshowitz, myself, ...)

"Luddite" has multiple senses; your title is not sufficient

For an appropriate analogy, we'd have to incorporate the Luddites' stance on worker protections - they were essentially a protest movement (not just "anti-" technological progress).

Would you consider this the same as "doomer"? just wondering if it needs a separate entry or if you'll resolve them as the same.

@shankypanky I’d resolve them the same.

"Yuddite"

😅😅😅

Doomers and Safetyests are basically all technolibertarians about every technology other than AI, and like half of them are actively building AGI, so if that ends up being the term, yall are idiots.

@makoyass The people campaigning against AI art seem like a better candidate. Not sure what they're called. (ftr I think their concerns are reasonable today, but predictably wont be 5 years from now when genuinely useful AI art tooling is a thing, and their campaign to slow that down is all dvesha)

I don't think we are idiots

lol. According to the DALLE(?) generated image at the top, good candidates include: udtedes, mndite, Ldd, AIE, and IAI.
