It seems weird to be "pro-AI" or "anti-AI" in general. It's a tool. It's like saying construction workers are pro-hammer

People definitely have preferences of tools. For your construction analogy, I'm anti hammer. I prefer screws in almost every instance where a nail could be used, and hammers aren't the right tool for screws. Hammers suck.

Back to AI, it's a tool, and you can definitely be for or against it. Someone against AI might prefer other tools, like a canvas, camera, word doc, or visual studio (depending on the application they could be using the AI tool for)

Weirdly common I would say. US dockworkers / longshoremen are anti-automation big time.

The lack of productivity-growth in construction is also telling that this industry as a whole may be a bit too pro-hammer and anti-innovation

People would be more pro-automation if it didn't entail losing their livelihoods and ability to access food and shelter.
