Has there ever been a sustained backlash and doubt about a new big technology like what we are seeing with AI? Where the most vocal critics are tech people?

It's similar to bitcoin, to NFTs...

It's also similar to the internet-connected device trend, though I don't remember the resistance and doubt to that being as intense. I was mostly very excited about "the internet of things" I still put wifi in places where it doesn't belong with the most flimsy of excuses.

@futurebird I never got into the internet of things. It annoyed me that things started needing a smartphone app instead of coming with all of the functions on the remote like they used to.

They called them 'smart' devices when they're much less independently competent than what came before. There's also nothing exactly smart about connecting an oven running unsecure software to the internet.
