Luddites.

AI might not be producing the best content, and it will change the nature of how humans work (or don't), in good and (many) bad ways. But every culture which has resisted the inexorable march of technology has lost in convincing fashion.

I may not like it, but the current gen of AI is one tiny fraction of a step in a direction which cannot be stopped. Instead of fearing the machines we need to figure out how to best use them.

Reduce the natural resource consumption, and put the thinking rocks to work so humans can focus on what's valuable and important to us. If people are freaking out that their memes aren't drawn by hand, they'd probably be better served by not wasting their time on memes at all.
