I don't fear people using AI for evil. The destruction comes from something far more benign. These coders won't really be able to code, and they won't teach anybody else to code. Skills will be lost. Once something breaks, nobody will be able to fix it.

It may get worse. Imagine the police using AI to interpret evidence against you, get judged by a court that uses AI to write your sentence, based on laws that were also written by AI. Nobody understands this, just listen to the AI.

The other aspect of this is the flood of inane and untrue content. It may go to such an extent that the outlook of the typical person may become incredibly local again, limited to their immediate surroundings and personal experiences, not by choice, but because there won't be any way to obtain any reliable information about the outside world, with no way to sift the real from the unreal.
