I think you can get people unstuck from that prior if you offer them a line of retreat toward an even bigger reason to hate the AI companies.

My current go-to snappy retort for use in low-quality discourse (e.g. YouTube comments) is: "Exactly. Just like how oil companies invented climate change to make oil sound cool to investors." (I don't have any evidence that this works, but I predict that little nudges and intuition pumps like this would work over time if enough people offer them.)
