I get this argument but I want to reframe it. "Each interaction with generative AI subtly reshapes our expectations of what thinking should feel like... We begin to outsource not just the expression of our thoughts but their formation, delegating the essential cognitive processes that once defined intellectual development." If this is true, then it's probably true for any value of 'generative AI'. For example, substitute 'mass media' instead. Now we are delegating cognitive processes to mass media (are we? I will refer the question to viewers of Fox News). Substitute 'reading'. Or 'math class'. All media is an outsourcing of the formation of our thoughts. For better or worse.
