This is the most delusional take I have ever seen from a so called ML. Pure idealist nonsense.

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.

Sheesh. Tell me how you really feel.

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

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

"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.

No one said it is.

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.

Lol, take a few deep breaths.
