My guess is the ruling class’s use of the AI will probably have a greater impact against the working class’s interests than the impact the working class will have to counter AI through its own use. We have no control over AI’s existence. It’s a reality we have to live with. The only way AI would have an improvement on the working class’s lives across the entire planet would be for a socialist system to become dominant across the world and the global capitalist hegemony to be overthrown.

That is exactly my point, friend, wasn’t trying to argue that the technology itself is inherently evil. It’s that you can’t expect people to embrace and understand this as a useful tool to the communist cause when it doesn’t even have a clear use-case there besides for coding projects. I understand it’s the reality we live with, it’s why I’m not suggesting “OPEN REVOLT AGAINST AI!” because it’s just the reality we’re in now. My point is that people are going to continue having a disgust for it and a backlash against it because it’s going to do more harm than good even with a handful of clear use-cases.

Trying to sell the “goods” of this technology when it’s doing so much harm already comes off as tasteless.

I’m not denying the ruling class’s use of AI is a much greater detriment to us than any gains we get from the weakening of the labor aristocracy. However, I believe as those people start losing their jobs, communist parties will need to start reaching out to them, educate them, and bring them to our cause so we can develop the numbers and power to overthrow the ruling class, which I believe is the upmost importance. I honestly don’t believe most labor aristocrats, especially in the West, will be radicalized until they become proletarianized and their material conditions greatly worsen.

Agreed.
