There’s also less incentive to do process improvements when there’s cheap labor available. So the current arc of “development” is casting more and more people into greater and greater poverty.
Without the ballast of a proletarian state that prevents or fights capitalist expansion into new labor markets, the capitalist solution is to create death, destruction, and poverty to force people’s surplus value out of them.
yeah but it also relies on paid labour to design it and they don’t stay relevant that long. I’m not saying it isn’t exploitative I’m saying it will never be cheaper than this other form of exploitation

the real reason that AI will never catch on is that child labour is just cheaper
AI is catching on because it relies exclusively on unpaid (captcha) or underpaid (tagging) labor.

Yeah, but the bulk of the labor involved in machine learning systems is training and tagging.
It’s profitable right now because the average wage of someone doing the “data mining” required for training are making like $1 a day.
