> vast majority of laypeople have negative sentiment toward it

Citation very much needed. Technologists are not laypeople, and are almost certainly a vocal minority.

I'm surprised by this request. People detest AI.

Local subreddits are filled with posts "calling out" usage of AI by local businesses or governments. Consensus is that persons who are found out to be be AI users should be fired or resign, businesses that use it should be boycotted / shamed, etc.
