Why are people such big opponents of the AI buildout?

I generally don't see many cons to it.

1. Big tech was just using profits to buy back shares before AI build out. Would you rather they buy back shares with their profits or finance the AI build out?

2. If there is an AI bubble, great, when it pops, we'll all have ultra cheap tokens and we'll have all these amazing AI infrastructure built for the next wave of innovation.

3. Even if AI progress stops here and models hit a wall in intelligence, we'll still have AI good enough to solve millennium problems.

My theories on why people are so anti-AI:

1. It threatens their jobs.

2. They want AI stocks to drop so they can buy the dip.

3. Their identity is being challenged because AI makes what they do easier.
