Hot take: AI good. Every mentioned problem with AI actually stems from capitalism.

I do agree on the whole, It's the next phase of automation. The real problem stems from the fact that we hold onto the system where a tiny handful of people get the full benefit of the productivity, while the others are paid in time incriments which value goes down with demand, so as more jobs are automated or assisted (to allow more work with less people), supply demand devalues the labor.

This is why I support worker ownership and cooperatives rather than corporate ownership. I think we need to shift towards a Mutualist economy rather than a Capitalist one.

I agree with you and don't forget that Capitalism shouldn't be reformed as Social Democracy claims but it must be destroyed from head to toes

Yep, it's always the fault of the people using it for bad deeds.

It's not about using it for bad deeds as any other tool like a kitchen knife can be used the same way. It's more to the necessity to work in order to live.

That's a view I have for many things. The desire and possibility of, getting more money always distorts and corrupts. It makes pretty much everything worse by rewarding deception, externalised waste, and exploitation.
