It has little to no effect on the outcome, in this hypothetical. The way the conclusion came to be is different, but are you making an argument that the outcome is different on the ideal plane or something?

Yea I know, but you clearly made it after making an AskLemmy post.

Communism is generally held to be about class and state abolition, not hierarchy in general. Delegates in your model still have hierarchy, what's important is accountability and that the general interest is upheld. As for the PRC, it's already socialist, the large firms and key industries are publicly owned. It certainly isn't anarchist, nor is it a stateless, classless, moneyless, global society, but it's socialist.

Yes, you said process. I fail to see what you're accomplishing in calling a program a process vs a tool.

Hierarchy isn't something antihetical to socialism, it exists in all systems. Further, I still don't really see how this model handles global systems of production and supply chains, and further still, I think you're just redefining socialism to only include anarchism, which is a semantical argument and not a logical one.

If you couldn't tell the difference between the two, in what manner is the utility different?

Or maybe I did, and I disagree with your interpretation.

Asbestos is not AI, a frog is not a squirrel. This is silly.

Tools have different social functions in different modes of production. A hammer in the hands of a yeoman does not alienate them from the product of their labor, but a hammer that is owned by a capitalist alienates the proletarian from the product of their labor. The hammer didn't change, its social role did.

False consiousness is about misinterpreting reality, it isn't a synonym of AI. False consciousness is a human condition, when humans, for example, accept idealist analysis rather than dialectical materialist. These are not at all the same subject, and, ironically, you are closer to displaying false consciousness by trying to link it to AI than AI is to false consciousness.

I actually have, AI generated photos can take similar roles as stock photos, or other such visual imagery valued more for its informational basis than artistic. There are other uses.

My point has been consistent throughout, a state wielding its power is authoritarian, but that can be a good thing. Labeling oneself as "anti-authoritarian" is usually a thought-terminating cliché to oppose socialists that support the use of the state against the bourgeoisie.
