It's not about communism vs a free market, but about a change even more radical than that: leaving aside "made by a human" labeling, and even if there were no other changes to power structures or economies and no AI doom, what does a world look like if the cost of having something done falls to a few cents of electricity and its burden? Growing crops still takes a lot of land and other resources...

replyThere will be an oversupply, demand will be there too, but no one can afford to buy since most jobs have been replaced by AI. So the price of goods and services should go down, or some form of UBI will have to be implemented which is just socialism for the masses. Its either that or total anarchy (also socialism).
How could AI possibly lead to communism?
replyIf humans remain in control of it, then how can it possibly lead to anything other than extreme oligarchy?

replyDepends on the distribution of such AI. For example, if everyone on Earth has their own, personal superhuman AI, it would not lead to extreme oligarchy. If only a handful of humans control superhuman AI, it would.
Isn't Communism just extreme oligarchy.
replyOne is an economic system the other is a political system.
replyTomato tomato. The point is both are centralized, unlike textbook capitalism and the free-market economy.
replyIf your logic ignores that A and B are different then you literally claim anything and thus it is pointless to dialog with you.
replyNo, you are mistaking that for Stalinism. Communism would not have a hierarchy that allows for oligarchy. Read Marx or Kropotkin.
