TL;DR
Modern Luddites face the delicious paradox that AI could automate their research and writing, but their core mission—being authentically, stubbornly human—is inherently automation-resistant. Their job security increases with every AI breakthrough they oppose. While AI tools can assist with certain parts of the role, the core of Luddite work stays firmly human for the foreseeable future.
