AI can be and is used as a labor-saving technology, which means that it develops the productive forces, which is the path to post-scarcity and therefore to communism. The fact that AI is also used for dumb and terrible reasons and purposes doesn’t negate its usefulness.
Edit to add: I don’t think you’ve investigated the problem. Some of us have, and some are using it because it actually is saving them time/labor.
“AI” for one is not a thing. Secondly there is no way some magic technowizardry is going to solve all our problems. This is pure liberal idealism. Also it’s not even a novel concept. We have had cybersyn for like 50+ years. “AI” is just a buzzword and you all (by proxy) shilling for these grift companies is pathetic.
If you want to be pedantic about “intelligence,” then that’s true, but not relevant
I think it is relevant insofar as using “AI” to refer to a particular set of, fairly different, technologies is vaporware nonsense. We should define what we’re referring to. The machine learning technologies that can help doctors detect cancers are much more socially beneficial than the misinformation slop machines that your search engine is becoming.
I’m not saying AI is going to solve everything but it does have the potential to greatly decrease the necessity of human labor which would be a game changer if in the hands of the working class.
In the hands of the bourgeoisie though AI is an existential threat because it can be used against workers and already AI is being used to create “art” which is about the worst possible use for it.
I want AI to doing the hard labor so humans have the freedom to make art, not AI art so human expression is replaced by robots
AI is going to in large part be the answer to scarcity. But yes, it’s imperative that the working class take control of its usage and development
How?
Edit: Read the other comments in response to this and that answered my question.
This is the most delusional take I have ever seen from a so called ML. Pure idealist nonsense.

Ah yes, its so self evident that they’re delusional there’s no need for you to refute them. /s

No one said it is.

Lol, take a few deep breaths.
Sheesh. Tell me how you really feel.
