I don't think people have a problem with progress as a concept, but the AI shift is a major hit on the job market and therefore the economy and governments are failing the people. Not only that but the replacements are subpar and generally make things worse and add a huge amount of technical debt. People are losing livelihoods in a system that doesn't care for them and hasn't cared for them in ages, and it's all decided by business suits that fall for weak marketing.

well, i'd go as far as to say that the reason why politicians haven't cared about people in ages is because there was no reason to care for people. if you treat people badly and make sure that they're stuck in a miserable position, that makes it more likely that they'll take on crippling jobs and bad working conditions. if there are no jobs to be done in the first place, then that just means that you don't have a reason to keep the people in these miserable conditions anymore.

so you are saying, if people are not being kept, then they would die? like a pet that can't care for itself? do you think that people are that dependent on government to provide for them? are you not an anarchist?
