People attacked leaded gasoline as a collosal mistake even as the fuel corporations promoted it.

"Because people attack it, it therefore means it's good" is a overly reductionist logical fallacy.

Sometimes people resist for good reasons.

Yes. Because leaded gas is the same thing as people using a new technology like AI.

The lengths people will go to in order to maintain their delusions is truly astounding to me.
