The 'Butlerian Jihad' refers to the historical crusade in Frank Herbert's Dune universe that led to the total destruction and banning of computers, robots, and 'thinking machines.' In internet culture, the term has seen a massive resurgence alongside the rapid advancement of real-world generative AI. Memes often utilize iconic quotes like 'Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind' to humorously or seriously critique AI-generated art, chatbots, and automation. Often paired with imagery from Denis Villeneuve's Dune adaptations, the meme serves as a bridge between high-concept sci-fi lore and contemporary technological anxieties, representing a fictional past as a potential warning for the future.
