The most common form of resistance I see is people just refusing to believe that the current models are even real. I have discussed this with otherwise smart people who are convinced the AI was "faking it" somehow or just "mashing words or images together like a search engine", etc. Usually its people who have always been skeptical of AI and are experiencing cognitive dissonance now that AI is becoming so obviously robust. Usually these people have never bothered to try GPT-3, Dalle2, etc, or they tried it a couple times, got one response they thought was dumb, and then immediately dismissed the model as "worthless".

Or sometimes they'll admit its impressive but fall back on the old "its neat but its not REALLY understanding anything", etc. Basically spewing the worthless Chinese Room Argument.
