If someone who has never had any major financial benefit from tech, but loved it all the same, criticizes AI, do they get a pass?

Depends what part of AI they say they don't agree with. Anyone with a reasonable, sound argument can give it a shot.

Is a 100% local, open-weight model that you only use for learning purposes / generating questions meant just for you the same thing as criticizing the use of "AI" in large corporations replacing workers?

How about DLSS 4 frame gen in a game? That's AI too, and pretty universally seen as neutral or positive by anyone who's aware of it.

How about AI assisting doctors scanning for cancers in medical checkups?

How about running google translate on a street sign when you're in a new country?

Folks gotta be more specific than just saying they're anti-AI, because what does that statement even mean in practice?
