9. Using AI sure beats doing hard, time consuming work. It allows you to produce results with very little thought at all!

Using AI to assemble your ideas into coherent sentences tells me the person isn't able to do that themselves.
It sure beats thinking, and writing draft after draft until the result looks like you actually understand your work.
How do you defend a paper when you haven't actually brought it forth from within, with your own conscious effort?

And this will only get worse. At the rate things are going, colleges will be graduating students who don't know anything about the courses they took.
There was a science fiction book, I think it was Neuromancer, where people had hand held devices that they could consult for advice. It would tell them what to do, and provide them with information.
That's where we are now, with AI as an advisor.
Where we're going is for AI to be a substitute for your personal understanding of the world. It has potential to create a new version of humanity, one where people are absolutely ignorant of truth, and only knows what the AI tells them.
Current programing of the populace by unethical leaders, and a compliant media, are nothing compared with the ability of AI to "mainline" the entire population with fake news, fake facts, fake history; essentially a reality that has been shaped and packaged like the "Matrix" series.
This is the beginning of the end of humanity as the primary intelligent species on planet Earth. Where it ends, no one knows, but it don't look good.
