I think it's the association with "AI-generated slop content".
People associate the use of AI in an existing area as being a poor-quality facsimile of the real thing, whatever the "real thing" is. That, or an unnecessary addition causing annoyance (aka Clippy)
On the other hand, for genuinely new use-cases where AI is central and beneficial, I'd be surprised if there was a negative reaction. It is "new shiny thing" vs "cheap plastic imitation".
Reminds me of The Graduate "One word. Plastics."

You couldn't just randomly say "hey Google, code me up a PowerShell script that does x, y and z" and have a back-and-forth discussion. This is completely new.
