This is a misunderstanding of Marx. Marx would have loathed AI, because it it the ultimate form of alienation ("Entfremdung") of people from their work.

He would have loathed the industrialization of art and the concentration of the means of production in the hands of huge corporations.

Marx proposed the equality in the access to the means of production. He never said that everyone has the right to "be" the greatest chess player by using Stockfish. He never said that everyone must be an equally great mathematician.

The empty claims about equality are from the huge corporations who hold the means of production and steal from the original producers.
