Ultimately, the issue is our current societies being fucked. If AI were refined, sensibly monitored and generally used by people who can recognize mistakes (where it matters), and keep their fossil fuel usage in check, AI could be a big step towards gay space communism. Like, who wants to do menial labor? Let AI do it where sensible and pay the former workers the money that’s saved by doing that. But as it is, it’s mostly going to be used to further the agendas of authoritarians and capitalists.
That is a fight between left and right, though. Just because most rightwing voters regularly vote against their own interests doesn’t mean rightwing parties don’t primarily serve the agendas of oligarchs. I guess it makes sense to reframe this, though, since a lot of people have been influenced by propaganda to hate anything “left”.
