They were not talking about LLMs being participants of anything, but people who are against LLMs in whatever capacity. Surely people can be participants of a movement.

Clearly I was referencing LLM's being something to foment "an activist movement" in an attempt to de-escalate the implication of there being some kind of "anti-LLM activist movement."

At this point your replies to my posts appear to be intentionally adversarial.

Well, no, that really wasn't clear to me at all. I don't think it was clear in general either. > At this point your replies to my posts appear to be intentionally adversarial. Not my actual intention, apologies, although I 100% understand if at this point that is not at all believable.

There certainly is you can just google it https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=anti%20llm%20activist%... a subreddit dedicated to the anti-AI movement https://www.reddit.com/r/antiai/ "what is the goal of the so-called anti-ai movement" https://www.reddit.com/r/aiwars/comments/1mn3hh8/what_is_the... "how do we build an anti-ai movement" https://www.reddit.com/r/ArtistHate/comments/1hk3wuj/how_do_...
