Do you think AI is more likely to end Humanity or to end Capitalism? (lemmy.ml)

I feel as of CEOs worried about the dangers of AI are equating the end of Capitalism with the end of the world, what are your thoughts?

Why would AI end capitalism? If previous centuries told us anything, it is that in a capitalist world more productivity doesn't equate to more leasure time or better wages.

I wish I'm wrong, but I can't see any other issue than companies using AI to increase profits.

I'm more referring to a rogue AI with AGI deciding to end capitalism to save the world and ergo itself since it could view eliminating Capitalism easier than eliminating Humanity.

Basically every other scenario is more likely than the development of AGI within the next 1000 years.

Humanity will likely be over because of global warming before AGIs are a thing.
