I will admit over reliance on AI is a major issue that we're coming to terms with right now. However to invoke playing devil's advocate, a person over relying on stimulants can also be a bad thing.

In moderation, AI can be fine and help. If you're assuming AI gets to do all the work while you sit around sipping mai tais and eating bonbons, you're going to have a rough time - which is exactly what we're starting to see with students that have been Copilot and GPTing through their classes. They're finally hitting the more complex stuff that needs creative thinking and problem solving skills that just aren't trained yet.
