I'm communist and I don't see the AI as a villain/bad thing. And, to me, be afraid about it is the same as people in 1970s being afraid of computers.
Exactly, the only reason people fear automation is due to capitalist relations where people are forced to work in order to live because the purpose of work is to produce further wealth for people who own capital.
However, this problem doesn't exist in a socialist society where the purpose of work is to produce things everyone needs. If production of these things can be automated then it just means less work and more free time for the people.
No communists see AI as the enemy. Communists see AI being used to support the ruling class and harm the working class as the enemy. But I feel like communism has always talked about automation liberating workers from labor.
No, communists do not see AI as the enemy. Communists see the capitalist system as the enemy. We're all for technological progress as long as technology is publicly owned.
Easy to say when your job didn't get replaced by one.
The problem isn’t AI. It’s AI outside of a communist society. AI in a capitalist society results in people losing their whole careers and having no way to survive. It would result in people in many diverse fields all over the country starving since your money is tied to your career.
