I’d like to think that under an ideal socialist society, everyone would be cheering on the development of AI in the hopes it would further reduce working hours and allow for even more leisure while maintaining standards of living.
Also, robots would be developed towards socially useful work rather than being work-in-progress DoD killbots with a smiley face painted on them.
under socialism agentic AI would be received like “oh so one bureaucrat can do ten times the amount of work now? awesome!” and nobody would be worried about being “replaced” because everyone would just be seeing their work hours cut in half. we could be doing so much good with this technology…
Artists could see AI art and be like “Weird and interesting.” And then continue living an unthreatened high standard of life without having to worry about it.
this problem would not exist at all under socialism, like, for multiple different reasons.
