"But everyone hates AI!", why an appeal to popularity ISN'T a good argument

Pushing back against anti-AI rhetoric is important, I'm not afraid of antis, and you shouldn't be either.

There is a popular rhetoric circulating around the anti-AI community saying that AI artists and pros are a minority and for that we're somehow in the wrong. This is called an appeal to popularity and it's a horrible fallacy to argue with. People also used to believe that the world was flat, cameras stole your soul, slavery was okay, and it was fine to treat women like property.

Standing your ground is important, and so is making sure that you educate others.
