What would a "counterculture of AI" look like?

The problem, I think, is that counterculture is typically available to everyone. It’s immediately accessible by dropping out of or away from the dominant culture. That’s kind of the point – it’s affordable, grassroots, and anyone can do it. Counterculture art and poetry? Check. Counterculture life style? Off the grid, and check.

Counterculture AI? Uh… this is not available for everyone. I guess people with cheap and easy access to AI tools could figure out what kind of cultural opposition they want to pursue, and then pursue it. It’s not exactly affordable or grassroots, though.
