It's like the "can't stand CGI in movies" of decades past. Now there's CGI in almost every single movie. It's so good we can't notice most of it. The opposition was just to how low the quality ceiling was at the time, not really the CGI usage itself.

The thing is that only came about when companies realized that the thing they really wanted (to cut labor and costs of production) was counter to how you really make "good CGI". Bad CGI is still bad and good CGI makes some of the most expensive films to date.

Meanwhile, AI markets itself almost exclusively on being a time and money saver. And more efficient workers, but industry actively opposes that in a day and age where they prefer to commoditize labor instead of invest in specialists. If it doesn't actually do neither, then it won't really serve a niche compared to CGI.
