What? No!
Or do you think propaganda and misinformation is only created by capitalist countries?
What about generating child porn, or mail scams?
Those AI problems can definitely not be solved by overthrowing Capitalism.

Well those aren't uniquely AI problems.
AI generated or human artwork created CP is also kind of debatable in terms of harm causing vs potential harm reduction. (IE the question is, does availability of fake CP in which no one is harmed in the making of it, lessen or raise the amount of actual offenders).
Misinformation, scams etc... all just as likely to happen via shops of cheap labor
The problems of AI that I believe this post is talking about, are the labor displacement issues, IE when AI gets good enough to outperform humans at tasks... how will the economy deal with unemployable people. Which is a specifically capitalism problem. IE the fact that work is based on supply/demand... and lowering the supply of work while keeping peoples demand of needing income... leads to people starving to death.
Ok, not all. The concerns OP was referencing were likely concerns related to mass job displacement and unemployment.
My biggest concern with "AI" is people trusting it. It seems to be wrong a lot and people are misinformed enough already. I don’t think this is solved by people owning the means of production.
That's not a problem that's unique to AI, though; and misinformation would be much easier to address if you remove the profit incentive. Misinformation sells.
The incentive to oversell the capabilities of AI and market it as being more than what it is stem directly from capitalism though.
No! If capitalism gone, my 0.0000000001% chance of becoming a billionaire would be gone as well!
Easier to overthrow AI tech than to overthrow capitalism sadly.
My concerns with AI are like doctors cheating their way through school with chatGPT and deepfakes leading nations into war, other people's concerns with AI are that rich artists won't get credit for derivative works. It's all a fucking joke to me and I'm going to keep enjoying my time with Stable Diffusion.
You would trust communist leaders to be measured and responsible with AI technology?
holy shit
communist e/acc
I think the concern being solved is: In capitalism AI makes owners lives better and workers lose jobs. In communism AI makes workers lives better because they're all the owners.
Certainly not all the issues. And in theory.
Same with nuclear energy.
Wdym?
People are most afraid of nuclear energy by two reasons: accidents and wars.
The first has nothing to do with capitalism, we can only trust on workers and expect things to go ok. The second is more a fear mongering by the global north/rich people who want to make everyone worried when a global south country starts to invest in nuclear science and related things. In other words: capitalism influence.
