“Students today depend on paper too much. They don’t know how to write on a slate without getting chalk dust all over themselves. They can’t clean a slate properly. What will they do when they run out of paper?”

This is a poor analogy. Paper doesn't help people write any more than stone. Text generation software absolutely helps people write in a way that is likely to cause them to start using different skills and forget the old skills. They'll at least get out of practice.
