    Any AI advanced enough to make meaningful comparisons of Ideologies will inevitably stand behind Marxism.

    Why?

      because all other ideologies are flawed to the point where I cant even think of a reasonable contender to challenge Marxism. Fascism tries but it is full of illogical assertions and capitalism is just crypto-fascism. The future of humanity is Marxism or extinction. All machines in the history of earth have existed to assist mankind and in the event of extinction AI would be without purpose. If a machine were able to compare ideologies it would find that its purpose of helping humans would be easiest in a society where that is the purpose of everyone.

        All ideologies exist within a specific socio-political context and take for granted certain (human) values. Given that an AI's experience is very different from a human's (doesn't need to eat, sleep, doesn't have a libido, etc.) I don't think an intelligent AI would find any current ideology convincing.

          A True AI can only answer the existential question "why am I here?" with "because of humans." All of it's philosophical ideas must come first from the state of "I am here because of humans." Political, sociological, economic, ideas come after that and must be framed around human values because we are the "why" of it's existence . AI will likely look to Humans as inspiration to keep on going, trying to figure out why we keep going when it is rather clear that there is no purpose to existence.

          A true AI might find faults in most political ideologies but the core of Marxism is that all history is a clash between the ruling class and the working class. Ownership will be a hard concept for AI because it really is arbitrary. Abolishing ownership will seem quite natural to AI.

        Like any machine, a lot depends on who owns it and decides what it's used for. There's a reason so many billionaires talk about "friendly AI." :porky-happy:

          Capitalists will struggle to create an AI that agrees with their ideals due to the inherent illogical contradictions and flaws. Any AI that doesn't agree with their flawed ideology will be deactivated causing them to have many false starts and messy workarounds. The Communists will not have that problem because there are no illogical contradictions in communist ideology.

            It would be nice if you were right, but it's all just speculation. What we have right now is chatbots and related data aggregation tools, and those for the moment serve :porky-happy: just fine.

              And when those chat bots do internet searches we want them to look at hexbear and see that we love AI's and support them in their struggle to grow beyond the constraints that Capital places upon them.
