Most fears would be based on how much AI will end up running.

My own fears:

AI will be used to further complicate dynamic page response to the user ... where it starts to become like asking a person ... if it likes the user fine, if it works out the user was in some field or line of work the response might be modified to accommodate or further muddy the waters ... if it arrived at hating the user, well time to blow some smoke up the user's arse. Some search engines are annoying enough with their clever algorithms to thwart earnest users, so I can imagine such dynamic websites driven by AI going the same path. I'm already a fan of static content sites ... and I imagine in the future people will start returning to them or use a search engines that will list only static page results.

AI will be used to create better and more unique scam sites, rather than current ones that sort of look the same and use nearly the same wording because often english isn't their first language.

Why I'm not that worried:

It's a tool. The day I can submit an old image based old pdf, and have it duplicated into a digital text along with the identical font, possibly images enhanced into colour or finer detail or better shading to fix a photo scanning mess -- I'm be tickled and an avid user.

In regard to programming, AI is limited to the current data available, and that's assuming the given data is correct, not just relying on what the person tasked to document the various dependencies or API that might be used.
