[QUOTE="Suigin Trismegistus, post: 81415, member: 487"] I'd place a bet that most of them have a martyr complex. Humanists and materialists who had dreams of living off their art or poetry or wages as a liberal arts teacher in a post-capitalist world, but have had those dreams dashed as AI is better than them. They over-value their own inferior labor and are undergoing an identity crisis as their idealized profession and any authority it would would grand them [I]is[/I] a big part of their identity. They may have also read the Dune novels back in their day and want to have their own Butlerian Jihad, mixed with Marvelesque tropes. I would not conflate it with machismo or masculinity as you have, but rather with an infantile attachment to their egos and identity. There is plenty of anti-AI and anti-tech sentiment to go around, including in feminist circles. They are driven by emotions, by fear of obsolescence and of the unknown. [/QUOTE]
