Those people are usually Westerners that take the easy route which is to blame a tool for the issues caused by capitalism.
However, if you look beyond the small western world into countries like China, Cuba, Vietnam and others in the global South, AI, including genai, is celebrated. You can find plenty of content in Xiaohongshu with comments fascinated with the inventions of people.
One example of this is this song created by a person that used AI for the production of it:
This is another where someone produces a video regarding neoliberalism to educate:
There is even a Yotube channel called Dialectical Fire that posts incredible content using AI.
All I know is that this new form of luddism will disipate into history similarly to the past luddism of past century.
I think it's a form of cope to think that anything China does is automatically different of better. They explicitly have a market economy, meaning that the same things can happen there that happen in the west, in the same ways. Just because the socialist government is there to catch it when it goes wrong, doesn't mean it can't go wrong to begin with.
Excellently put. It's really just Capitalists doing Capitalist things, it's just sometimes they happen to be located in China.
