Most of these historical disruptive technologies seem to affect only a relatively small group of professionals or then small part of human skills. Therefore there are not too many people complaining and also most of these people can find some new jobs, perhaps after retraining.

On the contrary, AI could affect large groups of professionals and large (if not all) part of human skills. The protests opposing AI might then be completely different scale than the previous protests.

Also the an individual losing their job would suffer more since there might be nothing they could do, even after retraining, that AI couldn't.
