I dont think the community is generally against AI, there's plenty of FOSS projects. They just don't like cashgrabs, enshittification and sending personal data to someone else's computer.
I believe you can buy a dummy HDMI plug and use Deskreen to host the screen in a webserver. This should work, but I don't think it's a good solution.
Edit: Deskreen seems to no longer be maintained and therefore doesn't support wayland. I think it's because of the Ukrainian war, and the creator being directly affected by it.
People don't use FileZilla for server management anymore? I feel like I've missed that memo.
