Thank you for your perspective, I’ll check out those articles. I can see AI applied to my workspace to reduce tedious data entry and simple calculations that are simple overall but unique on a case-by-case basis, in a manner that under Socialism would certainly be a boon for us for the parts of our job that require such mundane tasks, leaving the more mentally stimulating tasks for more direct involvement.
I still think it risks being over-applied, and certainly already is in the US, but that’s a matter of correctly identifying its use and where it should be cast aside.
I very much agree, we’re now in the hype phase of this tech and people are trying to use it for everything. Eventually, we’ll settle on the use cases that actually make sense. It’s going to be interesting to watch how it gets applied in places like Vietnam and China compared to the west as well. We get to see a direct contrast of how potentially transformative tech will be applied under socialism and capitalism.
Fun times ahead, and at the end of the day I do think the key part is to redirect the hate from the tech itself towards what’s actually causing problems. Whatever we may think of AI, it’s no longer possible to put toothpaste back in the tube so to speak. This tech exists, and it’s not going to go away because people are mad about it. It’s better to be constructive and focus the discussion on how it’s going to be applied going forward.
Exactly, if we are to be Marxists, we should be evaluating how any new technology or idea can be beneficial to the working class, and discard what isn’t while keeping what is. The fact that AI has already helped solve legitimate problems in the field of science and helped alleviate workloads proves that it at minimum has some usefulness and can be pushed in a positive direction, even if it is more often than not used for automated commercials and scams at the present moment. Controlling it and limiting its excesses is the primary issue, but then we can carefully apply it where it does legitimately have value.

Yep, we will have to see where it goes! Just like automation, we have to be careful but not fearful outright.
