We all have self-constructed identities. When threat of deconstruction presents itself, we react. E.g. my college degree isn’t worth what I thought it was, therefore I’m not the person I thought I was, therefore AI is evil, doesn’t work right, is bad for the environment, is bad for society, et. al. “This thing makes me feel less special, therefore I don’t like it.”
>is bad for the environment, is bad for society Can't it be those too?

They probably don’t like it because the AI industry has spent years saying it wants to make them all unemployed.

No way, it’s definitely 100% because college kids are entitled or something.

I don’t blame them for how they feel. In fact, I feel sorry for them. Covid took a few years from them, then AI comes along and invalidates their career choices. That’s a hard case.
And to be clear that was sarcasm from my earlier comment.
Nah the kids grew up in the middle of “once in a lifetime” events and are now subject to a life where what’s considered a viable career changes every 2 years or so.
They’ve never known a stable world.
