This is a reasoning skill and I fear we are losing this skill if we do not update our education systems (all over the world) very fast. Children will use AI, and we should also see this as a tool. However, children now need to learn how to verify the output of the tool, and this is something what they do not do (and they also are not incentivized to do so). Which needs to change, otherwise the next generation of people exiting high school can use AI, but they have not learned how to reason themselves.

This also happens I guess in companies, AI is the simple way, the reasoning is the "hard" part which costs energy, and people need to be incentivized to do so. I have no idea how to create that incentive though.

Education system has already lost and it happened before AI. The problem is that reasoning requires a very good literacy skills and these require a lot of practice to develop, but we stopped forcing students to practice this quite some time ago. A mass of illiterate students have been reality for several years all over the world.
