I don't understand all you wrote, but I guess you are saying AI leads to communism, so what happens to the investors money in a communist economy?

It's not about communism vs a free market, but about a change even more radical than that: leaving aside "made by a human" labeling, and even if there were no other changes to power structures or economies and no AI doom, what does a world look like if the cost of having something done falls to a few cents of electricity and its burden? Growing crops still takes a lot of land and other resources...

		> what does a world look like if the cost of having something done falls to a few cents of electricity and its burden? There will be an oversupply, demand will be there too, but no one can afford to buy since most jobs have been replaced by AI. So the price of goods and services should go down, or some form of UBI will have to be implemented which is just socialism for the masses. Its either that or total anarchy (also socialism).

How could AI possibly lead to communism?

If humans remain in control of it, then how can it possibly lead to anything other than extreme oligarchy?

Tomato tomato. The point is both are centralized, unlike textbook capitalism and the free-market economy.

		If your logic ignores that A and B are different then you literally claim anything and thus it is pointless to dialog with you.

No, you are mistaking that for Stalinism. Communism would not have a hierarchy that allows for oligarchy. Read Marx or Kropotkin.
