I think the bigger drivers behind Anti-AI is: the novelty has worn off, the upper class is shoving it into everything from the fast food intercom at a drive through to everything on the phone and OS, AI is drastically raising energy prices even without turning on a switch as power companies plan for increased need for capacity, AI has made computer parts expensive, AI is visibly making the dead internet theory a reality, and while there is more reasons left the big underlining issue is there is very little tangible benefit.

Also accepting AI requires being alright with the upper class stealing the bulk of the species intellectual property after decades of "Don't steal music" and all those "FBI warnings" about copying movies. Further insult is the audacity to want money for rehashing what they stole.
