I'm not saying this as a direct 1:1 link between the two. I'm using AI as an example for advancing technology. And by the way, advanced technology like smartphones and social media and the internet are all basically required for modern life. As much as I'd like to enjoy living on a farm in the middle of no where, not many other people would enjoy that either and therefore I'd be (mostly) alone, defeating the entire purpose of a neo-Luddite lifestyle - to get back to being a human in an increasingly alienated world.
There are many groups in the US that live with very little use of advanced technology, but very few people have joined them from outside, the vast majority leave after experiencing the lifestyle for some time, modern conveniences are hard to leave behind. It's easy to judge others for not wanting to live your "neo-Luddite lifestyle", I believe they are less delusional than you.
You seem a little aggressive here. Trying to go to a more primitive lifestyle now, in 2024, is largely futile. If it were, say, 500 years ago or 2000 years ago, "modern" life back then would have been simpler - and participating in society would involve many of the agrarian practices I've mentioned. With it comes horrible things like serfdom and slavery, too. Modern life has its benefits as well.
And I have met a lot of Amish people, they seem pretty content. They build furniture and barns. Drive horse carriages.
This is just my vision of an "ideal" life and more importantly an ideal _society_ - it's not as though I'm actively trying to move out to the woods or become Amish.
I just wish for less endless technological advancement and more self-sufficiency.
