Gamers also don’t generally reflect the opinions of the entire population.
The way the question is asked is also important. Obviously a majority will hate genAI slop, but a good (indie) game where the developer had absolutely no chance of hiring actual people (therefore no artist, software engineer, etc. was hurt in the process), now that’s a different story.
See this here for example. People are freaking out because AI was mentioned. Not because COE33 is a bad game (though I do think it’s overhyped, personally), but because AI got mentioned - in a way that doesn’t even affect them.
Thing is, there are some malicious actors in the AI sphere, both for AI and against - and the ones against are pushing absolute BS stories to ragebait people and build “consensus” on AI being bad.

Oh, so it is the gamers who are anti-AI, and the artists who are in favor of it. That makes sense.

It’s interesting to me how a project fronted by somebody without two nickels to contract an artist can use the power of AI to create assets they’d never otherwise be able to, but they’re not replacing anyone; AI can’t just make a bunch of assets that a person could. That’s some black magic, right there.
