On federated platforms like Lemmy, a small number of highly active users can also create the impression of a broader cultural shift.

And bear in mind that this goes in both directions, it's possible for highly active anti-AI users to flood the discourse.

Community opinion is often a bistable state. If 70% of the userbase has opinion A and is constantly downvoting and browbeating anyone who says anything positive about opinion B, one would naturally expect the userbase to soon be 80% opinion A. Then 90%. And so forth. The few holdouts who continue to say positive things about opinion B get labelled as "bots" and "trolls" and are dismissed.

Maybe it's just that the world isn't as uniform in their anti-AI opinion as you imagine it to be? Social media inherently forms bubbles, smaller platforms like the Fediverse even moreso than most. As the Fediverse grows opinions are likely to become more diverse.
