Autonomous Labor or Automatic Production?—The Application of Generative AI in the Perspective of Marx's Theory of Labor Value
Generative AI,represented by ChatGPT and Sora,has sparked discussions on whether they engage in autonomous labor or automatic production due to their powerful machine learning capabilities for content generation.Based on Marx's theory of labor value,AI is an intelligent machine rather than an intelligent person,and the operation of generative AI is essentially the activity of a machine rather than a person,therefore it can only create use value instead of value and surplus value.The intelligent production achieved by the capitalist application of generative AI is merely a new manifestation of automated production in contemporary capitalism,and its essence is a means for capital to exploit relative surplus value.Only by abolishing capitalist private ownership and transforming generative AI from capital productive forces to new quality productive forces can we empower the development of socialism with generative AI,thus enabling humanity to break free from the constraints of livelihood labor and achieve the transformation of labor from an alienated state to an autonomous and free state.
