It's not the "AI nightmare", it's a nightmare of capitalism, proprietary software and user-hostile behavior by a greedy, profit-extracting Big Tech corporation.
I find the nightmare getting a lot more noticeably bad with LLMs, though. That's not just correlation.
AI is a cool feature, which makes a great excuse for proprietary corporations to spy on their users. I'd say it's one of the best opportunities for an excuse of the last few decades. Only 9/11 was a better excuse to put everyone under corporate/government surveillance.
