How could AI possibly lead to communism?

If humans remain in control of it, then how can it possibly lead to anything other than extreme oligarchy?

Isn't Communism just extreme oligarchy.

One is an economic system the other is a political system.

Tomato tomato. The point is both are centralized, unlike textbook capitalism and the free-market economy.

If your logic ignores that A and B are different then you literally claim anything and thus it is pointless to dialog with you.

No, you are mistaking that for Stalinism. Communism would not have a hierarchy that allows for oligarchy. Read Marx or Kropotkin.

Depends on the distribution of such AI. For example, if everyone on Earth has their own, personal superhuman AI, it would not lead to extreme oligarchy. If only a handful of humans control superhuman AI, it would.
