Not really, social media is just surfacing the worst of a group as always. No one talks about the actual scientists like Geoffrey Hinton, Yoshua Bengio, Stuart Russel, etc who are all equally concerned about safety and have been warning about it for years now.
The same thing happens for every topic because people who are loudly wrong are more outrageous and engaging to social media users than experts, this is how you end up with people not wearing masks in the worst pandemic since the Spanish flu, things like QAnon, cancel culture, wokeness, anti-wokeness, the list goes on.
