People who heavily utilize any of those _do_ have the associated skills atrophied. It's just that in all of the listed cases, the actual associated skill may not have actually been important.
The younger people at my job have atrocious spelling.
My ability to do mental math is much worse than it was when I was regularly doing math without a calculator.
People who have exclusively learned digital art do not have the muscle memory built up to seamlessly transition to analog art.
Almost everyone I know has awful handwriting.
So the question then is "What is the actual skill that AI tools are replacing?" And if the answer is "thinking," then that should be terrifying.
