At the risk of abusing the analogy further: many people aren't refusing to believe it's wet, they're observing that sulfuric acid is also "wet" and can look similar upon visual inspection, and there's a lot of harm coming along with the demonstrated capabilities, in addition to those capabilities themselves being fickle and inconsistent (not a desirable property for a good technology).
This isn't a problem of "doesn't know what AI can do"; yes, some people are misinformed, but you shouldn't dismiss all refusal to use AI as being misinformed. This is a problem of "knows what AI can do, and based on that informed position thinks it's terrible and should have careful guardrails around it".
