Who will be the face of the anti-AI backlash?

The question being posed online is who will become the symbolic figure of resistance to artificial intelligence — a modern John Henry, the folk hero who raced the machine. Commenters invoke the 'Butlerian Jihad', a fictional holy war against thinking machines from the Dune novels, as shorthand for an anti-AI movement. The debate reflects growing unease about AI displacing human workers and creativity.
Why now: Ongoing public anxiety over AI's impact on jobs and creative work is prompting people to search for a symbol of human resistance.
