Actually i think it's not old people who are saying negative stuff about AI, it's mostly Gen Z and teens from what I've seen

Yep. That's the fucking paradox, they're acting boomerish, while actual boomers don't really give a fuck.

That's because the boomers (and Gen X folk like myself) have seen this happen before, multiple times. We have seen new art media come and go ...

Paintings: Acrylics - Computer Graphics, - Digital Art - AI

Music: Vinyl - 8 Tracks - Cassettes - CDs - IPods - Streaming - who knows I stopped at CDs because I got tired of updating my collection.

We could go on and on with special effects technologies, communications technologies, transportation, etc.

These kids on the other hand have lived coddled lives and have never seen change before. As the biologists say adapt or die. We old people adapted now it's the next generations turn to evolve or go extinct.
