Scrolled down to find the Bluesky/Mastodon links, found them both.

Do these people think that you can stop a technology be telling people to not use it?

"Do not buy books from Amazon, go to a library". "Do not use Google Maps, paper maps are perfectly fine". "Do not have Slack on your phone, your boss does not need to be able to message you off-hours".

"Do not use LLMs, they are just bad".

Is this just plain virtue signaling? Can't imagine anyone thinks telling people to not use AR/AI will actually work.

You can just disagree with their opinion. I don't think you really believe that we should mock people for fighting against something inevitable, unless you disagree that the thing is bad, in which case the inevitability is not the salient part of your opinion.
