My biggest concern with “AI” is people trusting it. It seems to be wrong a lot and people are misinformed enough already. I don’t think this is solved by people owning the means of production.

That’s not a problem that’s unique to AI, though; and misinformation would be much easier to address if you remove the profit incentive. Misinformation sells.

The incentive to oversell the capabilities of AI and market it as being more than what it is stem directly from capitalism though.

What? No!

Or do you think propaganda and misinformation is only created by capitalist countries?

What about generating child porn, or mail scams?

Those AI problems can definitely not be solved by overthrowing Capitalism.

Well those aren’t uniquely AI problems.

AI generated or human artwork created CP is also kind of debatable in terms of harm causing vs potential harm reduction. (IE the question is, does availability of fake CP in which no one is harmed in the making of it, lessen or raise the amount of actual offenders).

Misinformation, scams etc… all just as likely to happen via shops of cheap labor

The problems of AI that I believe this post is talking about, are the labor displacement issues, IE when AI gets good enough to outperform humans at tasks… how will the economy deal with unemployable people. Which is a specifically capitalism problem. IE the fact that work is based on supply/demand… and lowering the supply of work while keeping peoples demand of needing income… leads to people starving to death.

Ok, not all. The concerns OP was referencing were likely concerns related to mass job displacement and unemployment.

No! If capitalism gone, my 0.0000000001% chance of becoming a billionaire would be gone as well!

Easier to overthrow AI tech than to overthrow capitalism sadly.

I think the concern being solved is: In capitalism AI makes owners lives better and workers lose jobs. In communism AI makes workers lives better because they’re all the owners.

Certainly not all the issues. And in theory.
