It's a systemic political battle, and the only reason anyone's talking about banning AI. They're only luddites when it benefits them, personally, in the here and now. Parroting their silly fearmongering tactics "What if THE MATRIX, guys?!" is just giving them more power. Ludditry is just cowardice, specifically focused on the fear of change. Want to know a realistic worse case scenario for AI development? The same rich assholes that are rich today invest in developing AI tech to the point that the market value for human labor plummets to an unlivable point, and class mobility subsequently goes to zero. THAT's a doomsday scenario, and it's made ever more likely by stupid claims that only our Silicon Valley Immortal Philosopher-Kings are worthy of control over AI.
