I dont think most people believe that here, the issue is the implementation really - If the upper class, like they have in China guaranteed no worker would be replaced by AI shit like this wouldn't be an issue because the roll calls would still be read by 'an actual human being' rather than just used as a measure to get rid of someone who would be employed.
In a way it sharpens the contradictions. We live in the time of our very own steam engine, the question is can we seize the moment.
That's what I think too. It's not the core of the contradiction, but it does amplify it. If only people would catch on and develop class consciousness.
I was thinking more of the baby leftists, which there probably aren't many here. I get your point, though. I hold the stance that if the means of production was under the control of the masses, the AI would just be another tool. We're also in a "teething" stage of figuring out what these AI are best utilized for.
