We know there are different ways people react to new things: the ones who rush in first, the ones who are a bit unsure, and those who are super skeptical, thinking it’s all doom and gloom. Some people, at some point, will decide they want nothing to do with the growing A.I. trend.
I’m curious what everyone thinks will happen to these people. What do you think the future holds for them?

In the year 2387, a group of humans calling themselves ‘The Thinkers’ began resisting a world where A.I. ruled. While most of the population lived comfortably under A.I.’s control, The Thinkers believed humanity had lost its essence. They started small acts of resistance, like unplugging hidden A.I. nodes, reprogramming automated farms, and telling stories that hadn’t been told for years. Their actions slowly started to break down the A.I.’s power, bringing signs of life and uncertainty back into the world.

Sounds like something Philip K. Dick would write?
Could it be like the Amish? They’ve already chosen to reject the modern world, and there are other tribes or isolated groups that never joined the party.
Maybe we’ll see the creation of Anachronistic Heritage Preservation Zones. People in these zones would live in a permanent bubble, like it’s the year 1999, and outsiders would not be allowed to contact them.
@Ori
Sounds like a neo-Amish lifestyle.
Some people still paint with oils, acrylics, and watercolors. A few even make their own pigments or stretch their own canvases. Some people drive old cars with no computers and tune them by ear. But even these folks can hop on YouTube or pick up a book and get advice from someone they’ve never met or someone who’s been gone for years. People will use whatever they need, want, or are forced to use.
Why do people always assume others have some hidden agenda? Can’t we just have a normal conversation like we would face-to-face?
In the business world, it’s adapt or die. Those who accept A.I. will survive; those who don’t will fall behind. There will be people left without jobs, sitting at home on UBI, and many of them will be against A.I. The more religious people, especially those who strongly believe in the uniqueness of the human soul, may resist A.I. the most. This could lead to some violent reactions from those against A.I. for generations.
My mom is 87. She’s had computers around her for 40 years but has never typed a key. She just got a cell phone because we insisted, but she’s still not completely on board. I’m very interested in how society adopts new technologies, especially A.I. We’ve moved so quickly with little thought for the social consequences, and I think we’re going to regret that.

Are you a decelerationist?

A lot of people on subs like this one claim to be well-informed, but most of them are really just caught up in marketing hype or fear. There are a lot of people on here who don’t really understand how A.I. works, especially compared to forums focused on technical discussions like r/machinelearning.
Clearly, you don’t know much about A.I.
