People hate AI because culture is being turned into slop in front of our very eyes. There's clear evidence that people collectively reject:

1. AI games

2. AI Art

3. AI Music

4. AI literature in most forms, except for factual text like search

Or at least, they won't pay money for it

AI hatred isn't being pushed by people with a narrative. I can't use AI for my game, because it'll sell £0 if I do. That's the net result of millions of other people telling me that they despise AI and won't purchase my product if it contains any AI, and I'm just making a business decision

Also google and some other big tech companies were widely loved for a while. Microsoft/gates managed to entirely rehabilitate their image at one point, and google was seen as one of the good guys. Those days died with the cambridge analytica scandal, and there's no evidence its coming back
