Thank you for the essay it was very informative and to be honest it has changed my perspective on how I see AI.
I have been using AI in a personal level as it is a very convenient tool to check for another solution, general inquiries or just a way to approach a problem, I even have been using it for my work.
However I didn’t know what to think or how to feel towards AI in a large scale. As you said there are clearly positive things about it, helping people with disabilities or being able to provide workforce for small scale or personal projects.
But my issue was how AI is being use by big western corporations wherever they laid off their workforce or some business who have decide that human interaction is not necessary or just too “expensive”.
I believe the greatest part of the essay is that we as communist, should struggle to understand and to see how this tool can be used to the benefit of the worker as a person or for their workload.
I have to add, AI currently is an issue for social interaction, no only the “slop” that now fills YouTube that is the largest platform for social media, at least in the west, and the unbelievable amount of bots in any social media have deteriorated another social space between people. I believe this is important because is harder to find content that has real research on it, or content that goes against the narrative of the west, you know like hakim.
It is also harder to discuss online when you cant even know if the other users is indeed a human being.
There is also the issue how this same bots can change the perspective of social issue or the public opinion, with the same goal as the news in the previous year but now is incredibly more difficult to determine if it is just bot or real groups/communities that are rallying behind an issue.
And how this can also be used by big companies like amazon or Google to benefit from it with advertisement or crushing ideas or projects that may be troublesome for them.
And there is also the issue with the telemetry that was already pretty invasive before AI now I don’t have an idea how this will be used, there are some soft examples like the traffic cameras in new York to charge drivers if the just go in certain parts in the city.
Overall I do really appreciate your point of view as a refreshing perspective on the matter.
