Not sure I'd generalize like that. IMO you'll find very obvious correlations between the people who tend to use AI regularly because they're living Dunning Kruger types who always believe they have the great "talent" or "the genious idea" but just need the magic tool to make it work, those who have been "forced" to use it at work e.g some programmers and finaly those that as you say just make excuses for it and may not even use it but nevertheless consume the slop consciously and happily(e.g r/chatgpt users) .

I'd guess is a significant majority of the average population who live outside these bubbles are far less favorable towards AI.

Someone on reddit had an intriguing take for once. The people who are like "ChatGPT revolutionized my work" are people who are just really bad at stuff. I read that comment the other day. And then now if you go to reddit and look at the AI subs, you get stuff like this:

I know the arguments done to death surrounding AI and being a risk to jobs etc. but I work in a very niche area of law and there's a lot of complex pieces of case law and legislation that deal with it and, frankly, my memory is terrible with retention of this info. I also struggle sometimes with interpreting judgments, specifically when Judgments are written in very complex "legalese" which I've always hated.

It's a very tempting thesis considering it predicts observation. But I think I would temper it a little bit to avoid ableism or getting too far into technocratic thinking.

I wouldn't say that it is a useful tool for anyone struggling with mental or learning disabilities though, it doesn't help them get better, it does the work for them. Someone in a wheelchair doesn't want someone to just pick them up and carry them everywhere, they want ramps so they can go places without being wholly reliant on others. LLMs just outsource your thinking to an algorithm.
