Even accepting the premise that AI produces useful writing (which no one should), using AI in education is like using a forklift at the gym. The weights do not actually need to be moved from place to place. That is not the work. The work is what happens within you.

many such cases.
we deceived ourselves that somehow work that needed more than a HS education and usually doesn't involve getting dirty or sweaty was somehow different in kind

"Blade" here feels like calling a bike sprocket an "engine" because the reader might not know "sprocket" but it *is* involved in making the bike move forward.
They could, for example, have written "along the side of the chainsaw" to avoid both potentially unfamiliar terminology and wrong-ness.

I guess I don't know the specific AR-15 argument you refer to - I try avoid online gun control "debates" ;)
My point is not that great technical precision is always necessary, audience be damned. If "bar" won't be understood, explain it or figure something else out. But "blade" is just wrong.

Yes! Great piece - the conclusion really gets at the heart of the optimism-supporting angle on our current moment:
