Yeah, it's similar to nuclear energy as well. For both, I'm not so much "pro-X" so much as I'm "anti-anti-X". Renewable energy seems to have finally outpaced other options, but we also wasted decades fighting against people that meant well but helped destroy the environment. Likewise, simply rejecting AI completely just leaves more opportunity for unethical people just trying to make a buck.
