Unironically any good argument against AI boils down to an argument against capitalism. Every other one is horribly misinformed.

Crazy how my socialist world view gets proven right time after time. Reality really does have a left wing bias, huh?
Companies are the original AI. They turn humans into a machine that does whatever the owner wants. Kind of like the dreaming humans in the Matrix movie.
Uh... that's just plain wrong. Everyone who seeks power (read: all governments) will abuse this technology the exact same way they've abused every other technology which came before it.

I agree. Most of the problems with AI are the people controlling it, and the need to profit. Give it to the public to control, and eliminate the profit incentive by eliminating capitalism.
Or we could just give total control and benefit of this new tool to a small group of psychopaths. What could go wrong?
sure lets just get rid of capitalism as a whole, lets see where that lands us
And when we do that, I’ll stop fighting AI.
