Alternatively, are there any publications engaging with the future potential of AI in a communist society, or in the lead up to a communist society? A lot of forum discussion used to pertain to the cybersyn project in Chile. But I feel like the LLM/ML/AI discussion is currently on a reactionary back foot.

If you've used it, I'm curious as to what potentials do you see from it? Where is it being used effectively where are you encountering it where you go, damn that sucks.

Where it sucks: Every single chatbot and phone tree when calling a support line ends without speaking to a flesh-and-blood agent. It makes me want to throw my phone into the woods.

Where it rules: Fulfilling bullshit work requests like OKRs with AI-generated drivel. Translation work. It tutored me through a Grad-level Statistics class that was all Asynchronous.

I used it at work to ask questions about various engineering standards, and it often provided good answers without having to slog through forums or blog spam (or, god forbid, actually reading the standard directly). I don't use it so much anymore, because of how much it gave subtly or very wrong answers. You can definately encounter wrong answers from online commenters, but you might at least get some pushback from other commenters, so it's sort of self correcting.

I also found it weirdly good for asking questions about Marxist theory while reading through Capital. Unlike most people with an opinion about Marxism, ChatGPT actually appears to have read the source material. Still, it can't help but editorialize sometimes.
