I'm not sure about that. The "normies" around me love AI. My mother and mother-in-law drive me crazy when I ask for advice and they copy the answer directly from ChatGPT. Not to mention the stupid images generated by AI.
It's not an age thing. It seems to be an experience thing. If AI is perceived to have ruined something you like, or otherwise negatively impacted your life, you're going to hate it.
Really? Because every "normie" I know complains to me about how much they hate AI.
Lots of the the complaints center around it being forced on users, how all information on the web is AI generated anymore, thus can't be trusted, broader issues around how it makes society much less stable (bots, misinformation, fakeporn, and more recently, breaking security). And, of course, those whose jobs are actively being replaced by AI really hate it.
The data centers going up locally are likely to be another avenue for complaints.
