IMO, this is just the older generations thinking badly of the young. Be it rock n' roll, D&D, internet, smartphones, or AI, the older generations will not understand the priorities, workflows, and conditions of their younger peers.
Opposing AI is like rejecting the bicycle, sickle, or calculator. The thing that people should contemplate isn't whether to use AI, but rather how to use it. Do we want only wealthy elites to have access to AI, or should everyone be able to use it? Should we use AI to teach people, and if so, what subjects? How do we prevent people from falling into poverty? And so forth.
Outright rejection of AI is foolish, and simply means that the peoples who adapt to a world with AI, will come ahead of those who have isolated themselves.
I think you've gone off on a bit of a tangent here. This is less about lack of understanding and more about people utilizing AI to offset their thinking. The less we exercise our skills (be it writing software, medical diagnosis, etc.) the fewer opportunities for growth and reinforcement of skills users of AI have.
The bicycle never replaced walking, it just provided another means of locomotion. People straight up use AI to think for them.
