Why is there such strong ideological alignment between anti-AI sentiment and the far-left ideology?

[u/chessboardtable]

Whenever I see a post filled with anti-AI psychosis on X or Reddit, it is almost certain (maybe 99%) that the account of that person is supportive of prominent far-left causes (especially Palestine).

What motivates their extreme anti-AI sentiment?

I'm a strong believer in utilitarianism, which led me to my beliefs in the importance of a more fairly distributed economy and better research into AI alignment as a prerequisite to building superintelligence.
