What about capitalism created AI? China is not a purely capitalistic society and they have AI too… I don’t see anything specific about capitalism that brings about AI. In fact much of the advances in it came about through academia, which is more of a socialist structure than capitalist.

State capitalism is still capitalism.
You’re really arguing a non-capitalist society would be incapable of developing LLMs?
No. You are making a big leap there. I just object to calling "communism with Chinese characteristics" anything but state capitalism.
Capitalism does however incentive unhealthy and self-destructive exploitation. Including of generative AI.
I’m curious why you see this as a problem created by capitalism, rather than another cause?
Would you have another cause you could posit? Surely the reason the marketplace is being flooded with AI generated books is because it's profitable.
Nothing besides greed could explain the extent to which people handwave and ignore the many obvious harms and failures and risks.

You’re really arguing greed (EDIT: and bad risk evaluation) didn’t exist before capitalism?
Is my cat capitalist?
Affirming the consequent.
Fair enough.
Projectiles existed before guns, but guns created new problems.
For fucks sake we can play word games all day but let's not.
