Title is self-explanatory. The benefits of this would be tremendous, if correctly trained and perfected, it would be the greatest tool to democratize knowledge about Marxism.

There are already several open-source large language models on the internet out there, but I think the biggest bottlenecks is the knowledge on deploying such models and computing power to run such a thing.

    I’d just love to have a computer argue with pragerU or any other reactionary repeating points that were debunked by marxists earlier. I don’t know if an AI can parse what a reactionary is saying first to know the proper response. They can be incoherant.

    We’ll need to get a proper database of reactionary theory and note where marxist theory addresses each of the claims of reactionary thought.

    However reactionaries often argue in bad faith, lie about the facts, and utilize sophistry to deny the material effects of the current system’s actions. This tool is best used for people that actually want to learn.

    If you want to make this more effective you’d need to get a marxist understanding of every industry so that the querant can see exactly where they stand within the capitalist system. We can also apply industrial understandings of what the querant consumes and explain how commodities will continue to get shittier because of the contradictions of capitalism.
