there are definitely some people who just don't understand and don't want to understand the technology but i think the predominant anti-AI position on bsky is that all the people who promote it love saying stuff like "have fun staying poor"
The predominent anti-AI position on bsky is that AI is useless, fake, shit and basically the same as NFTs, destined to collapse in months once everyone sees how poor it is. So anyone who suggests that it could improve or be useful to any boss in any situation in the future must be evil.
