Thank you for creating awareness on this important topic John. I agree with your points. AI tools help us finding the research but they are still not capable of writing like humans. Worst of all they scrap bits and pieces from the web without citations. An AI written article on Medium overtly pinched sentences from my article and from articles of several writers I know. Those plagiarized stories are harmful for this platform. Besides, they insult the intelligence of discrning readers as you wisely pointed out.
