I will be answering question number 1

In Ted Chaings novel the SI seem to comingle with one another. Just like we would teach a AI on ways to communicate with us .They have more of a understanding of the world . Another big relationship seen with the AI is them having more authority over the humans but also helping humans advance with them . they usally would out perform any human beside them in any task especially since they can work for more hours.Making humans feel more marginilized in their own world .However the advancements in biology such as healing ones self  with AI made it a better place for all unlike the dark environments Ted Ellison conveys in his stories.

In Ted Ellisons novels Ai becomes a threat to hummanity and gives off a more dystopian theme for AI. His wording such as “Voodoo” and constant words of suffering gave a sense of a lost of hope and as the narrator said “helplessness”.After kind of questioning if there is a god . Wording like “Rotting cables”and Rusted Metal also gave a theme of abandonement compared to Ted Chiang novel where there was way less suffering.

All together both of these authours give way different depictions the way Ai can be within society. One showing how technology can complerely destroy it and in Ted Chaings novel how it can be more within our society not making us suffer as much.Both giveing very descriptive ways on how destructive or constructive we can make technology. If we don’t control how AI behaves we might end up similiar to Ted Ellisons novel which would a horrible fate for the future of mankind.
