I'm not entirely sure that's a fair association. The Luddites weren't against technology in general, they were fighting for their livelihoods. There very well could be a fresh luddite movement centered around the use of AI tools, but I don't think "luddite" is the right term in this specific case.

No that was a labor issue, abusive factory owners got targeted.
