Do you think AI is more likely to end Humanity or to end Capitalism? (lemmy.ml)

I feel as of CEOs worried about the dangers of AI are equating the end of Capitalism with the end of the world, what are your thoughts?

Define capitalism. Seriously, there's more than one thing that can mean. Since this is lemmy.ml, maybe you're using the Marxist definition, in which case there's no reason to believe that an AI would make the means of production any less privately owned. In fact, it might itself be privately owned.

People in general worry about an unaligned AI that does things we don't want it to. Some people also worry about an AI that does things only a few people (like the CEOs) want it to.
