Then when they pass laws, we’re all primed to accept them removing whatever it is that advantageous them and disadvantageous us.
You mean laws like this? jfc.

Literally what I’m talking about. They have been pushing anti AI propaganda to alienate the left from embracing it while the right embraces it. You’re proving my point.

That depends on your assumption that the left would have anything relevant to gain by embracing AI (whatever that’s actually supposed to mean).

What isn’t there to gain.
It’s power is literally to ingest language and produce all kinds of variance. We can give it talking points and ask to improve on our ideas or ask if the logic is sound. We can build good arguments and ask to give counter arguments to see how it stands.
We can use it to create memes. Create images. Find logical errors. Link to Research. It can be used to detect misinformation. It can act like a forced multiplier. It gives people who have great ideas a voice where they normally might not have felt confident in their ability. Like maybe someone had an idea to produce a comic but can’t draw. It can help create a framework at the very least so they can get their ideas down. It has flaws for sure. But it’s a great tool. Alienating the left from it while the right embraces it just seems so comically dumb and lacking of any common sense from the left. But given the past decade, it’s pretty typical.

I have no idea what sort of AI you’ve used that could do any of this stuff you’ve listed. A program that doesn’t reason won’t expose logical fallacies with any rigour or refine anyone’s ideas. It will link to credible research that you could already find on Google but will also add some hallucinations to the summary. Etc., it’s completely divorced from how the stuff as it is currently works.
That’s a misguided view of how art is created. Supposed “brilliant ideas” are dime a dozen, it takes brilliant writers and artists to make them real. Someone with no understanding of how good art works just having an image generator produce the images will result in a boring comic no matter the initial concept. If you are not competent in a visual medium, then don’t make it visual, write a story or an essay.
Besides, most of the popular and widely shared webcomics out there are visually extremely simple or just bad (look at SMBC or xkcd or - for a right-wing example - Stonetoss).
For now I see no particular benefits that the right-wing has obtained by using AI. They either make it feed back into their delusions, or they whine about the evil leftists censoring the models (by e.g. blocking its usage of slurs).
