Not necessarily -- I am extremely anti-AI; I think the danger is not that it's good, it's that it's convincing. Turns out most people don't care about the quality of art or prose or code that they interact with, and it's very depressing.
Most gods have never been observed to have any real world impact. Only their worshippers cause real world effects. So god is not a bad analogy even for doomers.
My take is that most art, prose, and code was really bad before AI too. Now there's just more of it good and bad. It's like hating that YouTube exists because cable TV was so good. Now anyone with a camera can make and upload whatever nonsense they want but in the end lots of very good content was made on top of the huge pile of rubbish.
Importantly, both boosters and doomers are believers (or perhaps cultists).
A doomer isn't skeptical; they're nearly as credulous as boosters, or maybe more so in some ways.

That's not exactly what I've heard called a doomer. Doomers are the ones who think we're building the wrong AI god.
(But I agree with you fwiw)
