That is where we disagree fundamentally. I do posit that the communication is actually absolutely and unequivocally worse.

I fundamentally disagree with this premise. I believe evil is roughly equivalent to the inevitability of bringing about evil, and I believe AI falls under such a classification.
Technology evolves. Even if it may start with some low quality aspects, it doesn't need to stay that way.

Which is just different communication, not better, nor worse in general. Of course this kinda sucks for people who do not know the new communication-code well enough. But people do evolve communication to replace relevant missing parts. Body language for example was mostly replaced with emojis and memes, which can be better, or worse.
> we will forget what it's like to even be human.
You can't forget what you are. You are you everyday, ever minute, every second of your existence. What you speak about is people having a different culture from the one you know and understand. That's something completely different.
> technology is ultimately evil
Technology is a tool, is can't be evil or good. It's up to the users how they handle it.
