This is personal opinion anecdata, but I'm noticing the following.
It's only the mediocres that rail against AI; actual geniuses are like "hey, another tool. Cool."

So, I like the hip-hop. Timbaland and RZA have embraced it; a number of other unknowns who are okay but not great haven't.
But nice try!
nah, I am kidding.
But I will say that accomplished names in software that also make bombastic statements against AI are people that were... "opinionated" to begin with, and skirt the line between genius and madness quite often. I am thinking names like Jon Blow.
I'd say that most of the big names probably have nuanced opinions and do their own thing rather than spending time on social media.
The difference that makes AI more than just a tool is that it comes up with creative ideas, or at least plagiarizes them very well.
It's certainly going to exacerbate the advantage that wealthy kids going to elite universities have at becoming geniuses.
It's not like you push a button and it releases something awesome.
For now. Soon, the ladder will be a pair of stilts; best get to the very top before that point.
