I think it's more that AI is the final straw for many. Social media exhaustion. Everything needing an account or (worse) subscription. The stupidity of smart devices/appliances. Software and media not being ownable anymore. Constant data breeches.

Chatbots are just the latest in a long line of everything digital being little more than a rent-seeking, ad-riddled, privacy-invading scam.

The work required to protect yourself from it all is an arms race, and LLMs only dialed up the cost.
