This. The Borg has fired its loyal leftist followers into a froth of nebulous rage. They are filled with loathing, and cannot ever turn it towards its true source -- the Borg itself -- so it lashes out in wicked ways against any other victim instead.

One place that I am starting to see a bizarre amount of leftist rage is these anti-AI posts from visual artists. (Perhaps they aren't all leftists, but ... A majority are, I do believe.) These same people who would doubtless decry anyone who accused illegal migrants of stealing the labor jobs of citizens as the worst kind of "RAYCISS" have no qualms whatsoever about issuing death threats to hobbyists using a new tech to make pictures, because said tech now impacts *their* livelihoods. I have seriously seen posts by artists saying that those who use AI to generate images should kill themselves. The rage level is unreal.

I'm guessing they were the same people telling factory workers to "learn to code" when the factories across America were closed down. I guess someone learned to code and now we have AI that does all of the art, oh, the irony.

Wow. I don't like or trust AI myself. But I just give reasons to exercise caution. That's insane.

I'm also guessing that you aren't DMing death threats to AI users. Just saw a post on Reddit that a pro-AI commenter got such threats. Reddit evidently claims it doesn't violate their TOS, either. Kinda weird.
