The empirical data doesn’t support this view.

Capitalism approval rates in the US is much more favorable than 16%.

That makes sense, but I would love to see the data on it. I don't doubt at all that capitalism in isolation is viewed more favourably in the US, but that doesn't preclude the intersection of AI and capitalism being viewed less favourably.

I suppose my comment should've said "views on AI aren't solely views on AI, they are views on AI as it intersects with capitalism"

Here’s a recent gallup poll.

You’re right that the AI opinions are largely colored by the business practices around it.
