I don't get why people think AI takes the thought out of writing. I write a lot, and when I start hitting keys on keyboards, I already know what I'm going to say 100% of the time, the struggle is just getting the words out in a way that maximizes reader comprehension/engagement.
I'd go so far as to say that for the vast majority of people, if you don't know what you're going to say when you sit down to write, THAT is your problem. Writing is not thinking, thinking is thinking, and you didn't think. If you're trying to think when you should be writing, that's a process failure. If you're not Stephen King or Dean Koontz, trying to be a pantser with your writing is a huge mistake.
What AI is amazing for is taking a core idea/thesis you provide it, and asking you a ton of questions to extract your knowledge/intent, then crystallizing that into an outline/rough draft.
And how do you know you're not as good as Stephen King or Dean Koontz if you never even try? What AI seems to be amazing for is to persuade people to freeze themselves in place and accept their overlord-assigned stations in life.
You're free to adopt this cynical and pessimistic outlook if you like but you're going a bit far trying to force it on others. Gawd.
