Is today's AI simply automated capitalism?
Hi I'm new here so sorry if my question comes across as naive.
I've been thinking about how new technologies offer a range of promises to improve society which then are reduced to instead serve the established hegemonies as the technologies in question get widely distributed.
Like the Internet which promised a world of shared knowledge and is now mostly reduced to proprietary content, i feel AI promises a lot of social improvements but its mainly used to increase profits and cut down regular jobs.
Is this feeling shared by many here?
