Socialism

AI is a tool with certain use cases. Under capitalism, it's used as a vessel for investment and is thrown into everything like a broken, false panacea. Under socialism, it's already being used to help identify patterns, automate production, and is seen more as infrastructure. The over-application of AI to areas it does not meaningfully aid, and in many cases is a detriment, is an issue far larger in capitalism than socialism.

The importance of education and cultural hegemony isn't in the tools themselves, necessarily, but in the class struggle of the state. AI wasn't needed for bourgeois hegemony and fascism in the US Empire, the bourgeoisie used the tools they had. We fight this by mastering the tools they use and correctly agitating among the people for better.

Fascism isn’t a grassroots movement, it’s an astroturfed one, funded by the bourgeoisie. The problem isn’t the tool (AI) so much as the user and their goals. Bourgeois think tanks & media outlets, like for instance PragerU, are going to produce & distribute reactionary content regardless of what tools are available.

I think it’s best not to adopt this slang term for AI bots given its racist origins.

AI has nothing to do with fascism. It's a tool, and the left rejecting the use of this tool cedes this technology to fascists. Meanwhile, I would argue that what makes something slop or not is the intent behind it. Any piece of advertisement made by a human is far more slop than something generated using an LLM by a person genuinely wanting to express an idea in their head. We already live in a culture saturated by slop to the brim. You can't go outside without being assaulted by advertisements on every corner.

It can be solved with vibes, of course, because that's the only thing you've presented here.

Why do you think a future generation raised by ai slop made by clankers would up supporting a future fascist regime in the US? Why do you think the last 200 years of the US hasn't already been a fascist regime? How does ai slop interact with the way fascism develops?

Give us some thing, comrade.

So the cool new technology that allows the poors to make stuff they couldn't before will only ever be used to create fascist propaganda? If you really think this, help us change that, by using it yourself.

We can use the working class' numbers advantage to outpropaganda the enemy. Now that the skill floor is so low and the iteration speed so fast, the owning class' "more education access" and "more free time" advantages get greatly diminished.

Current LLM technology would be a GREAT librarian or archivist.

If it was properly trained to give sources and only use existing texts for the basis of their answers, and they were trained on academic books, articles, manuals, blueprints etc.

You could download one to a computer or smartphone and have every village on earth be capable of building their own power sources, wells, learn about science etc etc.

It shouldnt try to be a “doer”, a coder, a marketer, a writer etc.

But it could basically be the best search engine for texts and guides ever.
