The real AI has been in action for centuries now.

It's capitalism.

Capitalism is a functioning AI that controls the world, that has had humans serving it. AI is the tool that capitalism will use to remove humans from the equation.

The end state of capitalism is slave labor. The end state of technocapitalism removes humans from the labor equation.

Why do you bring up communism? It's not true that a society either has to organize as capitalist or communist.

Are people also slaves under capitalism then? "Their work is owned by their employer, not themselves".

I hate communism as much as the next guy, but you couldn't describe it more incorrectly even if you tried I think.
