It's not fear over new tools, it's frustration with how it's wielded and how inappropriately, irresponsibly, unethically, and greedily it's pushed.
AI, itself is not the problem. The people who use AI, and the people who steal and trample and bludgeon to get it and while using it are the problem.
To disregard this entire aspect of the conversation is... Alarming and disappointing.
I believe we should all be pushing for ethical and responsible AI use and development, and what constitutes that and why. If not, the only resulting conclusion should and will be, simply: "Fuck AI", which is where we are, now.
What if we rush slop generators witb ineffective safeguards to market instead?
