I don't understand how you've read the comments on this page and still think that people that don't like ai are fictitious

The internet dislikes a lot of things. It's meaningless.

A substack post is not anger, an HN comment is not breaking machines.

In IT specifically, people who dislike AI are simply not revolting. They're retiring or taking sabbaticals. They're not breaking machinery, they're waiting for the thing to crash and burn on its own.

That's a no true Scotsman mixed with a strawman.

Anger is a lot of things besides intentional sabotage and insurrection

Do you believe people actually hate fidget spinners, or it was just internet talk?

Show me manifestations of anger towards AI that actually happened outside of the internet. Some massive strike, some protest, something meaningful.

Is Paul McCartney an IT worker?
No but it's anger that happened outside of the internet.
