Marx' idea of intrinsic crisis in capitalism was basically correct. He had no way of foreseeing the horrors of stalinism.

A theory is only correct if it has predictive as well as descriptive power. Marx failed to predict the horrors of Stalinism because his understanding of history, morality, and economics was wrong. Darwin successfully predicted Morgan's sphinx moth. The theory itself, much more.

Marx theory had a number of flaws, but it might turn out to be essentially correct once AI destroys the labor based economy...

"A number of flaws." Capitalism did not fail. Even if you count the way that the AI revolution will change the economic landscape as post-capitalism, creation of AI was only possible though the SUCCESS of capitalism. AI represents the success of capitalism, not its failure.

Feudalism (rule by land owners) was replaced by capitalism (stock owners) due to industrialization.

Industrialization was not the success of feudalism. It happened in spite of feudalism. For the AI revolution to inspire communism as Marx described, it would be as if the tools of industrialization could only have been invented under a feudalist system, which is not true.

The tools of industrialization could probably not have been invented in a tribal society.

You can recognize that you have an ideology if all the people that don't share it appear to be evil, stupid or misguided
