Excellent post! I think this question can go even deeper and wider, with respect to thinking and education. For example, “Is there a certain age when introducing AI is appropriate?”; “When we ask AI to summarize text what are we losing?”; “Do our goals for learners need to change?”; and if so “What then are our new learning goals?”. All I know is that I do not want to live in a world where thinking is no longer a vital human condition.

Thanks--and yes, all of that. This was written almost two years ago--but all of these questions are on the table now...

I saw that after I commented! Somehow it came up in a Substack email!
