tomw, Any new technology starts with a built-in advantage over its critics.
NFTs were obviously, comically useless and they still pulled lots of people along because hey, it's new, it's technology, you can't just dismiss it. It took a lot of focus on the harm, especially energy use, to overcome this.
AI on the other hand produces at least superficially useful results, and the problems are real but a bit harder to pin down: cases of bias, spam polluting the web, semi-plagarism. It's an uphill battle.
