Even in the western world most anti-ai sentiment ends on social media.

People are anti-ai cuz it's easy. They say something, repost or like something, and they're anti-ai. Then they turnaround and use AI in their email or calendar or to make funny pics or whatever. They watch AI generated content and engage with it.

Anti-AI is pretty NIMBY. People want AI, they just don't want AI data centers in their area or to give up their use/privilege.

No. There's a lot of local regulations being enacted to prevent datacenter builds.

While I agree that it goes beyond social media, I don't believe your statement is evidence to such. I would call that more the manifestation of anti-Ai sentiment wherever they pick it up.

I suspect it's popular because it has been a long long time since The People felt like government had been responsive, so they are doubling down, ad nausium
