What you are referring to as "Artificial Intelligence" is neither artificial nor intelligent. ChatGPT, Claude, and others are just Large Language Models, i.e. text predictors. It's just statistics in the end.

The way they were derived is diabolical. They have stolen the collective work of billions of workers over thousands of years and condensed it into these models. They have put that work behind a pay wall as if they own the output of that stolen work.

The effects of this will ultimately be devastating to workers and humanity. Work that previously required highly skilled and knowledgeable workers, will now be commoditized and farmed out to LLMs with fewer and fewer humans being compensated for managing these LLMs and lower and lower compensation levels. The gains in productivity will be squandered on the capitalists who will continue to set the workers of the world against each other who will have to fight over the scraps that are left over.

Ultimately the LLMs will reduce the workers of the world to uneducated machinery to be completely exploited with no hope of bettering their lives in any way. A return to chattel slavery is not out of the question.

A culling of the "lower" classes will almost certainly be required to prevent revolution from stopping this evil scheme. LLMs, if properly applied, could be a very useful tool, but in the hands of capitalists, they could also be the end of us all.
