Was some of the recent anti-AI push beneficial to big corporations?

Large corporations are going to use AI regardless of what the public thinks. They have the money, lawyers, infrastructure, and data to do it. AI isn’t going away for them. But who gets hurt most when ordinary people are told not to use AI? The small business owner who can’t afford an artist to create a logo. The startup founder who can’t hire a copywriter to proofread every email. The family business that can’t pay an accountant for every tax question. The entrepreneur who can’t afford a programmer to build a website or a consultant to review a business plan.
