Every tool that automates a task reduces the skill that students learn. Calculators reduced the average ability of a student to do algebraic calculations without support, this "sacrifice" has been considered worth it because the time saved from not practicing calculations has been used to understand more math concepts. But is the ability to write essays, to answer complex/abstract questions, to understand and summarize informations and to draw conclusions from those informations something we are willing to sacrifice? And if so, what abilities are we giving instead to our students?
There is also the option to not use ai tools at school/university, just like programmable calculators have not substituted scientific calculators
