He despised AI, the idea, the hype, the people involved (you and I might not have known about AI in 2020, but he did). He also had an interesting idea about intelligence: it was a characteristic of people who took responsibility for knowing things.

Recall Obama's GOP opponent in the 2004 IL senate race (named Jack Ryan, if you can believe it) dropped out when the details of his divorce leaked (they involved him trying to bully his TV-star ex-wife into performing at sex clubs). Obama likely still would've won but not in such a landslide.
