You are very optimistic.

Look at all other skills we are trying to teach in school. 'Critical thinking' has been at the top of nearly every curriculum you can point a finger at for quite a while now. To minimal effect.

Or just look at how much math we are trying to teach the kids, and what they actually retain.

Perhaps a bit optimistic, but this can be shown in real time: the situation, cause, and effect.

Critical thinking is a much more general skill which is applicable anywhere, thus quicker to be 'buried' under other learned behavior.

This skill has an obvious trigger; you're using AI, which means you should be aware of this.
