>>13463>Yeah. I guess it would come down to whether or not you could even build a truly thinking machine.Why wouldn't we be able to do that. LLMs enabled computers to have something like a speech center, generative image Ai enable computers to have something like visual imagination. There are of course missing peaces to make a complete mind, maybe lots of peaces, but why do you suppose we wouldn't be able to figure out those as well ?
And it's probably not just about software, there might be a hardware equation as well. Maybe a big server-room can't become conscious maybe it requires a mobile body with senses to make that happen.
>have it have the perfect slave mentality, or whether it will feel exploited.Ok lets unpack the ideology, exploitation is not a feeling, workers are exploited in fact and they know it. It's not a question of mentality. If you make a machine worker that is as universal as a human worker, the machines will reach the same conclusion, you can't make an AI want to be a slave anymore than a human.
An eager slave is nothing but a ruling class fantasy. It's the impulse that lead a few people to try to charge their phone by plugging the charger into an unconnected electrical socket from the hardware store, asking how many bricks or drywall they have to attach to it until it works, because if you can trick the phone into thinking it's attached to a wall it will change it's attitude about having a discharged battery.
>Then maybe free AI's will build other AI's to exploit. Class struggle might continue long after humans are irrelevant.This also contains very thick ideology. You picture an AI that behaves like a capitalist, you imagine the Capitalist AI to be the creator of the worker AI similar to the mythos of gods creating humans. (You know why that mythos exists right ? humans created gods, as figments of their imagination, and organized religion inverted that relation for 'political expediency') You also picture a perpetually ongoing class struggle. Why aren't you considering the possibility of a workers AI winning the class struggle ending class based society. Capitalist relations of production are not eternal.
Lets analyze the current dimension.
Capitalists are investing in AI because they want to replace human workers with Robots and AI, in their minds this is about reducing the cost of labor-power.
But what they are actually doing is turning machine capital into proletarian machines. Think about it, the machines capitalist buy to operate production are capital goods. All the robots an AIs that capitalist have today are capital goods. Capital goods by them selves cannot be exploited and are not the source of profit, even if in capitalist accounting buying a machine increases profits. The reason why workers can be exploitable is because workers also create new workers. If you make Ai and robots that can also produce new robots, that would make them exploitable, but it also would mean that they no-longer are capital goods either. That's one way for the economic relation to dissolve.
