I doubt many on the left would be willing to throw their brothers and sisters under the bus to fight against AI. I wouldn't ask them to.

Part of the complexity here is pitting current obviously visible specific harms, vs vague future potential harms.

I could be wrong about this, though.

And IMHO, that mentality is the problem: they want to have it all, on every issue, so they'd rather drive the bus (and everyone in it) off the cliff than tolerate an ally who is not in total agreement.
