I don't think that there are very many people who do reject the technology itself. I think that under different circumstances even the people who seem the most hostile towards it would be mostly fine with the chatbots and image generation technology we call AI.

There's understandably some concerns over how it will impact people's jobs in the future, but that's a societal issue, not a problem with the technology.

I think the problem people have is with how that technology was created by people looking to privately profit from the hard work of others without compensation, how it is massively destructive to the environment, how it is being used to harm others, and how the people controlling it are indifferent to the harms they cause at best and at worst are trying to destroy or undermine our society. These are valid concerns to have and it's only natural for it to impact people's attitudes towards the technology as it's been implemented and how its used today.
