The Luddites were rational. It's immature to use that word as an insult.

Nothing the parent said was arrogant.

That the Luddites were acting on principle doesn't mean wouldn't use the term.

Also, if you want to 'go there' you could find a much better word than 'immature' to say what you're trying to say.

The OPs posture is not tonally arrogant, but it's it's definitely intellectually arrogate.

The OP claiming heritage of the 'Golden Era' which is a dramatic, egoic romanticization.

To place one's 'own story at primacy' above all others, insinuating that 'his skills' are those which are 'true and relevant' and that those using new tools are 'lesser' or 'not substantial' , and also grossly myopic to the truly great Engineering that's going on ... is arrogant and insulting frankly.

We can empathize with having to yield to a changing world, or being too out of scope to even fathom the 'new tech', but that's very different with saying that 'Frank Sinatra was the Only Great Singer, those that came after him had not talent'.

If it were the case, then fine, but it's obviously not. AI is a legitimate advancement that narrow minded people are struggling to fathom, and it's coming out in some ugly ways.

A true creator would probably take magnanimous position that after having made their contribution, they are sad to not be able to participate in what is maybe an even more substantial era of progress, and all of the wonders that will come of it.

Good gripes - we're all about to have robots in our homes (!) probably within 5-15, we're witnesses Sci Fi unfold in front of us ...
