This fear ties back to our assignment in regards to agency vs efficiency. If we all give up our agency and allow for AI to do all of the critical thinking for us, then yes I can see how it can be a threat to humanity. However, if we all decide when to use AI and how we use it, then we can work along side AI to benefit us as a tool, rather than replacing human's critical thinking skills and important developmental skills we all develop throughout schooling and life experiences.

Although this is good for helping languages with few native and fluent speakers keep their languages alive, it does make you question that if we continue teaching AI all the languages around the world, to what point does AI translation and language teaching take jobs from people who work as translators and language teachers? Yes, many times translation depends on the context and AI can't necessarily pick up stubble contexts that we as humans can, but if we continue advancing AI, eventually in hindsight it should be able to do so.

Data sovereignty is a huge part of AI. As mentioned in our conversation earlier in the class, the government can control which outputs AI can give its citizens. This will result in many governments being able to control what information AI users are receiving, ultimately resulting changing their ways of thinking and controlling the information that they are learning. For example with the United States government changing the AI output in ChatGPT of "Is Donald Trump in the Epstein Files," previously the answer given was "yes", and now the answer given is "no."

When it comes to newer content creators, you can see that they do not care as much about monetization as they do not have a large following, nor companies that are going to give them money due to the lack of following that they have. However, you start to see as people grow a following, they start to change the content that they are releasing online these various social media platforms, to be more "safe" as they want to receive an income. This causes content creators to conform to the social media platforms algorithm just so they can have their content sent out to more people, resulting in content online becoming less and less creative and unique, and more so the same as everyone else.

With AI having access to the internet and being able to piece together whatever information they find for the person inputting the prompt, is not giving the original publishers the credit that they deserve. Instead, as this example says, using the original content of others, and not giving the original author credit or even compensation for their information, only will further prevent/make people second guess what they are willing to upload onto the internet for free. It also only benefits the big corporations instead of the person putting their knowledge and research on the open web.

I think this can be extremely frustrating, as the internet should be used as a way to have information at your finger tips. The internet is a way for people world wide to educate themselves, and learn information that may not be easily accessible for them in person. Having access to the internet, we as a generation have been fortunate enough to be able to learn things by not having to go to the library and do the research ourselves. By putting a lot of human written information behind paywalls and passwords, makes the information that was previously easily accessible, less affordable for people who may have heavily relied on the internet for free education to expand their knowledge and education in an affordable way.
