But it seems that the AI alignment issue is also a big concern, too. In either case-- capitalists using AI for SUPER CAPITALISM (i.e. can do all normal capitalism things but faster, more effectively) and so the issue solely being in intent and motive, or capitalists incorrectly specifying outcomes (cutting corners to make profit) leading to misaligned AI that does really bad things, your arguments against capitalism only strengthen the concerns we have with AI

Indeed.

I think we could conceive of AI and automation that is a boon to humanity (as was the original intent of automation), but any form of power and control + capitalism = immoral behavior. Concern over AI is really concern over capitalism. Even the fear of an AI rebellion we see in fiction is just a technologically advanced capitalist fear of the old slave uprising.

Sure! However AI itself also has AI specific concerns that are orthogonal to the socio-economic system under which we live in or they are created. Robert Miles on YouTube is a great entertaining and educational source for this
