Does AI lead to Communism?

Ok, realize that AI can do any white collar job right out of the box. The only thing it can't do
(yet) is where a job requires physical interaction with something. Like jackhammer in the
street, dentist and so on. But, engineers will solve those problems one by one. When AI is
now doing everything, humans are simply drinking pina coladas by the pool. That also means
humans have no way of earning money to live, so, the government will have to give each one
a monthly stipend from taxes it collects from the robot companies. That's Communism. Y/N?

I've heard the theory called "technosocialism," and probably, yes.

But I think we get there via violent revolution against the uber-wealthy class. They're not going to willingly give up that much wealth. They'd rather kill millions. And the billions of people without options aren't going to just lay down and die.

The few who own the AI - the means of production - will be sipping by the pool. The rest of us will be subsisting in squatter camps like it's ****ing Mumbai...

Rehashed Marxist class warfare is TOO funny in this context.

This is not even close to true.

Anyone who reaches a computer "help" system quickly learns the limitations of these systems. Call your local ISP for a crash course if you don't know what I mean.

You present the same myths that were perpetuated about computers in the 1960's- many of them verbatim.

I think you wildly underestimate what AI is capable of right now, and how quickly it's improving...let alone where it will be in a few years.

For fun, I loaded 100 pages of documentation for my master’s certification capstone project into an AI chat program.

Told it to complete the assignment.

It kicked back a completed assignment - with references, formatted in my preferred format, etc - within 2 minutes.


And now I’m sitting here comparing MY work (that I’ve been working on for a week) to the AI document and I’m absolutely astounded with what it produced.

2 minutes.

And that’s probably a lag for my crappy wifi.


This can of worms has vast reaching implications

• Have you considered how politicians might game this provision for political gain by doing X, Y, and Z?
• This part is essentially how it works in Germany, and that aspect of their government is among the best in the world.
• Israel tried something similar to what you are proposing in this article a few years back, and it didn't work well because of A, B, and C.
• Have you thought about the tradeoff between political stability and flexibility that you are requiring by including this provision?
