The actual Luddite movement wasn't "technology bad" it was "We don't want to become unemployed because our jobs were automated away and the factory owners and government would let us starve to death, and we're going to protest that by destroying the machines that would destroy us to harm the capitalists"

Right but that mentality doesn't describe AI skeptics it describes people who are against AI
