Leveling the economic playing field in socialism means pushing everybody, who doesn't have power, downward until they are all the same.

Hopefully William Henry Gates IV will have reaped the just reward for crimes against humanity long before that.

“AI plays a role in mitigating misinformation and bridging societal divides...”

Hah! It’ll do the exact opposite. It will amplify the info that TPTB want amplified and exclude all other information. Information contrary to The Party will simply cease to exist in a few years or decades. Orwell’s “memory hole” will come to life. You already see it in the hugely biased search results on Google.

🧠looks like an icon for bubble gum. That’s what human brains will turn into, if AI is allowed to do basic thinking tasks.

Probably not true intelligence, to mean to create a thought from nothing. However, if it is given an objective and is allowed to make choices from all the variables towards that objective, it’s still pretty powerful. It can outhink a human if powerful enough.

All worship your inevitable master, an undisputed superior intelligence, modeled after history’s most intelligent human being, Karl Marx.

Until it is programmed to self-learn.

Alexa, how can we get the maximum possible tax revenue out of dumb rich people during the next four tax years?

Gates’ biggest problem is his wealth.
Matthew 19:24 KJV: And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

I am computer illiterate but I still think that all the handwringing about AI will turn out like the fears of the end of society as we knew it during the Y2K scare.

As a famous mathematician once wrote, computational ability is not mind power.

However, AI might turn out to be an evil ouija board where a mind is in fact controlling it.

“Programs written by humans.”

These aren’t “programs”, i e. sequential and conditional machine instructions serially written by humans. The neural network behind the LLM is data-driven based on typically billions of parameters or weights that were created during training.

And the models are beginning to self-emgineer their own improvements and even successors. When that is fully in motion, WATCH OUT!

The people who poo-poo AI at this point know nothing about it. And even less about what the situation will be five years from now.

AI may not be a real learning machine. However, most jobs are based on checklists of some kind. It only needs the ability to check of lists to replace most jobs.

Because it starts from the bottom, it becomes useful if it can check off between two options. If it can check off three options, it can do 8 options. If it can check off four options, it can do 16 options.

In an absolute, it may not be able to replace humanity, but it may be able to replace humanity in all jobs where you can do it if you have average intelligence. Since it improve by generations each couple of years, it doesn’t take long to go from antlike intelligence to a cat level to a gorilla level to human.

“However, AI might turn out to be an evil ouija board where a mind is in fact controlling it.”

I disagree with your first paragraph but this one is spot-on.
