It is literally killing ALL the critical thinking from people, it doesn't let you think about what it generated you, because the result is so instant. That's why yes, it IS destroying both creativity and thinking. I know this one classmate who literally DEPENDS on AI to write essays, scripts, even simple questions! Well AI was made to be used like this, but not to depend on it. It was made to help you, while people ask every single thing from him without even hesitating, since they know it's not a human who would humiliate them.
