Being opposed morally to AI is all too often conjoined with the position that AI is snake oil and does not work. People want to cloth a moral statement like “AI is awful for humanity” in a scientific statement like “AI just produces slop code that must be reworked (and therefore reduces productivity)”. Then there are these disparaging middle statements like “AI is not intelligent/does not code it just copies and plagiarises” which is a moral statement intended to have scientific heft.
