The right-wing American imperialists were anti-fascist when they toppled the Nazi regime. Then they turned their sights against the socialists and the communists. Being “anti-fascist” isn’t enough. Either you stand with the working class, or you don’t - and those who peddle AI, a tool created with the specific intent of destroying the working class, cannot stand with us.
This isn’t “blind hatred” of AI. There is a significant difference between a cotton gin, a tool which requires specialized labor, including manufacture, maintenance, and use, and AI, a tool specifically designed not for workforce augmentation, but replacement.
Many, many creators who are far more intelligent and well read than I have published hours long essays in both written and video formats which explain how the AI revolution is completely different. I would be happy to link some of them if the topic genuinely interests you.
Please link some, because to me it sounds like you're making a textbook reactionary case in favor of artificially retarding technological development to safeguard the interests of a particular class (artists aren't typically considered proletarians, more like skilled craftsmen aka artisans). In fact the argument seems to centered around preventing the proletarianization of artisans.
I would be happy to link those for you. I don’t have them saved anywhere, but I’ll prod around and find some of those resources; be patient with me and give me some time, since it’s been a while since I’ve had a need for such. Give me an evening or so.
To be clear: I’m all for measured and intentional progress - it’s hard to be a conservative and a socialist - but in my experiences within the corporate world, managers and shareholders have banked on the idea that AI will replace workers, ergo the mass layoffs many companies in the U.S. have implemented. And whereas previously technological innovation has led to a more skilled labor force - the cotton gin needed manufacture, maintenance, repair, and operation - we have not seen the same with AI; to the contrary, computer science graduates are facing the toughest job market in history as companies seek to eliminate or minimize their profession. No ongoing manufacture, no maintenance, no repair, no operation. I know how these AI models work because I’ve worked with them.
Before going through this effort though, I feel the need to enunciate that I’m doing this on promise that you’ll discuss in good faith. I haven’t had such interactions with pro-AI individuals previously, but those conversations were not within socialist communities.
Was this made with AI?
Probably
Who cares? It's anti-fascist.

AI is a development of the productive forces, it's not anti-worker. Blind hatred of AI in all respects is reactionary.
You need a highly developed productive forces to achieve Communism.
No different from being anti-cotton gin because it will put people out of work.
