I think it is unlikely that people will act to completely abolish technology once they are used to it in their everyday lives.

This is called technological momentum.

The Amish (can't) enter the chat
Ok, you made me laugh :)

I think that most Amish were never used to technology though?

Young Amish typically venture out into wider society for a while to try it out for a while before returning to their community and settling into adulthood. Presumably the Amish returning now will have encountered LLMs or their output in one form or another during their journey. They're supposed to satisfy their curiosity and try a bunch of stuff, so they can make an informed choice about letting it go.
