I hope some press is going to compile and publish these AI-related essays of yours in a book. They’re sooooo good! They’re essential for right now but I also think they’re going to age great.

I use AI as a starting point and move on from it. Like Wikipedia for researching something I don't know about and go on from there to reliable sources.

Think of Socrates's midwife analogy. Writing is a way of developing and articulating thought, as a mother develops and births a baby (and the teacher helps the process as the midwife). So a good analogy is with technologies that allow us to avoid these things: artificial wombs or robotic surrogates, IVF and IVG, sperm donation.
