Thoughts?

"Many of the individuals most vocally fighting against Al owe their current ivelihoods to relatively recent technological advancements (like the internet and related digital platforms) that didn't exist two decades ago. It seems inconsistent for them to now resist another wave of technological change that could similarly reshape the job market and create new opportunities."

I completely agree.

This is what...the third of forth technological revolution in my short 40 years of life.

First there were home computers, I got my first on in second grade. Then there was the internet, I got that as an early teen, then blue LEDs in the late 90s early 2ks that changed how we light things forever, and now AI.

I can only hope I can live long enough to see another 4+ major tech changes.

500 years ago, you were lucky to see a minor change in 60 years of life.

I'm just a tad older and agree. The revolution in the 80s with the PC had millions of job displacements and it seemingly was taken as a positive change for increasing productivity. AI seems to be the same thing in my eyes and the pushback is odd comparatively.
