I used AI and I like it

I prefer using it for mathematical/physics/engineering types of problems where everything is experimentally verifiable and opinions don't really come into it.

A lot of what you cite has already started without AI. People's dependency on the internet has severely limited independent thinking, rote tasks such as spelling and arithmetic, knowledge of history and so much more.

Actually, letting AI deal with spelling, grammar, arithmetic, and other rote tasks will allow humans more time to think.

Maybe, but it reduces the quality of their thinking. Disciplines like math and grammar require precision and critical thinking, aspects that are quickly diminishing among younger generations.

So I was skeptical in my first attempts using ChatGPT. Someone suggested I try Claude.ai.

My use case was oriignally for language learning... I am learning a language that is not widely used and has about 8 million speakers. I have found that claude is VERY good at producing native fluent constructions of sentences and texts. By this I mean written in the manner in which a native would phrase it including idioms. These are cases where normal translators like google translate completely miss the mark.

I am in. I continue to experiment with other use cases. One big thing with these ai is to not just accept the first answer to a complicated question. Probing questions and dialog create much better results. It is sort like just accepting the google search result versus really probing, following link to other sources, etc.
