Of course, not only does the anti-AI community not "seem" to be interested in threading that needle, they openly tell us that they are not. Moreover, it's not even a needle that technically can be threaded, since all LLMs whether "generative" or not rely on the same technology and research.

A lot of it is this
"I would love to have a course suited specifically to my level in x subject that I can do in my own time for a low cost."

One of the first political things I read as a teenager was Dude, Where's my Country by Michael Moore, in which he advocated for General Wesley Clark to run for President against Bush. It wasn't because Moore thought being in the military makes you infallible!

Because platforming is only relevant to the extent that it reaches people. We know that part of the problem of the platforming is that even if it only happens a few times, it is done by people and organisations with qualitatively high reach.

I don't think the extent to which people are platforming Hanania is really knowable since it's not an issue that is particularly well polled, but we know for certain that it's happening at least to the extent that a Blue State Governor thought it was a good idea to do so.

It does have a certain logic to it: outflank the right in terms of "strength" and "masculinity" with a conventionally attractive person with a well regarded previous career who hasn't been in politics long enough to do anything controversial.
