AI can be and is used as a labor-saving technology, which means that it develops the productive forces, which is the path to post-scarcity and therefore to communism. The fact that AI is also used for dumb and terrible reasons and purposes doesn’t negate its usefulness.

Edit to add: I don’t think you’ve investigated the problem. Some of us have, and some are using it because it actually is saving them time/labor.
