Last June, I retired from teaching partly due to the strong push for AI. I taught English. Students learning to write and think don’t need help planning and organizing and thinking critically. If AI does any of this, students will miss out on key parts of their development. You mentioned”can draft an essay in seconds, some teachers are shifting their focus to critical thinking, source evaluation, and editing.”

Each of these are what should be human aspects of writing. If kids never fully develop this thinking, I fear they will grow up without the foundation to think and create and adapt. I reject it in education.
