If the Industrial Revolution is reviled it's at least partly because of the deadliness of the technology and wars it made possible. Both wars feature a single technological change that by themselves are to this day considered weapons of mass destruction. But you don't have to look to war as to why the Industrial Revolution is reviled at times. You cannot make a solid argument that the many protests and critiques against the Industrial Revolution were or are illegitimate ones. Or that we're not now suffering immensely due to inaction and ignorance of said criticisms. Climate change being another undeniable one. If you believe that AI is like an Industrial Evolution in the factors which it purports to be right now then why mock protests against it? This is like arguing for an unadulterated Industrial Revolution. No rational actor wants to see social strife on that level again. Both fascism and communism can be traced to unfettered industry.
