I think it comes down to exactly how the protests run.
I’m not a fan of chants like “Pause AI, we don’t want to die” as that won’t make sense to people with low context, but there’s a way of doing protesting that actually builds credibility. For example, I’d recommend avoiding loudspeakers and seeming angry vs. just trying to come across as reasonable.
IMO I’d feel a lot better if it was less angryish. I think there probably is something like a protest that I can imagine working. I’m not sure if I’d call it a protest? Unless, have you got example protests?
I can image a “change my mind” type of stall/stalls. Where people have calm conversations to explain the situation to the public.
I think it’s fine to call it a protest, but it works better if the people are smiling and if message discipline is maintained. We need people to see a picture in the newspaper and think “those people look reasonable”. There might be a point where the strategy changes, but for now it’s about establishing credibility.
