The problem isn't limited to creativity. When you let machines think for you, your own ability to think atrophies. Maybe long division wasn't a particularly necessary skill (though I think learning arithmetic algorithms is beneficial). But calculators could only complete a small subset of school assignments, while the set of traditional school assignments that gen AI cannot complete is getting smaller and smaller. On the other hand, the game of "turn in assignments until you have enough grade letters to get a piece of paper" game seems to be over, at least in its recent form.
