I wrote a small novel but lost it due to user error, so here's a hot take with much less nuance from a college math professor. Just like calculators meant we needed and could pivot the skills we ask our students to learn, AI will also shift the paradigm. But unlike calculators, which are very good at what they're meant to do, AI produces BS in the academic sense [0] and if used uncritically frequently produces work that's just nonsense. So I tell students I don't care so much if they use it, but that the students who do tend to end up looking foolish.
