No? Everyone has known ai will do things like this since way before anyone can remember - it's a staple of golden era science fiction for example, referenced in cartoons like the original Jetsons, and part of every single tired doomists anti technology speel since the Victorian era.
I guess there were and still are people who lack the ability to understand progress and seem to live continually in the delusional belief that we're at the end of history and nothing else will ever change - there's always people who'll take any position that lets them avoid thinking too deeply.
