The way I see it, we humans will have as little need to tell the AI what we want as ants, if they could talk, would have a need to point out to a human that they don't want him to destroy their colony.

But the human doesn't have to comply. You are assuming an ant-friendly human. Many humans aren't ant-firendly.
