It has an equally negative connotation to a rather large portion of the tech-savvy population as well.

Isn’t that the case for tech outside of AI as well. My friends that work in tech mostly eschew it when at home. They aren’t connecting their light bulbs to the internet nor buying WiFi enabled fridges.

It seems half of them spend their spare time woodworking or gardening.
