What? No!
Or do you think propaganda and misinformation is only created by capitalist countries?
What about generating child porn, or mail scams?
Those AI problems can definitely not be solved by overthrowing Capitalism.
Well those aren't uniquely AI problems.
AI generated or human artwork created CP is also kind of debatable in terms of harm causing vs potential harm reduction. (IE the question is, does availability of fake CP in which no one is harmed in the making of it, lessen or raise the amount of actual offenders).
Misinformation, scams etc... all just as likely to happen via shops of cheap labor
The problems of AI that I believe this post is talking about, are the labor displacement issues, IE when AI gets good enough to outperform humans at tasks... how will the economy deal with unemployable people. Which is a specifically capitalism problem. IE the fact that work is based on supply/demand... and lowering the supply of work while keeping peoples demand of needing income... leads to people starving to death.
Ok, not all. The concerns OP was referencing were likely concerns related to mass job displacement and unemployment.
