I see things differently than the way they are analysed in this text.
AI by itself is nothing. What it is depends on the context, and the context here is capitalism. This is very obvious because most, if not all, the problems atributed to AI in this text, actually derive from how capitalism works. Maybe I should I say how AI works under capitalism.
So the problem for me is not the tool itself, it's who is holding it. Meaning, going after AI, doesn't change how capitalism operates. It's by unstiching capitalism that the broader social and economic relations get the chance to reconfigure.
Spot on about context shaping tech - reminds me of how radio was once seen as this revolutionary democratizing force until comercial interests completely restructured it's use.
