Why? It seems foolish to have a knee jerk reaction to someone using a tool that got them where they needed to be.

Almost every commenter in this thread explained this better than I could.

It's a bit like watching a 2 hour movie about a knight who'd been preparing to save his beloved princess from a dragon for 1h 59s, and then the screen fades to black, the narrator proclaims that the dragon is done, the knight marries the princess and they live happily ever after. Closing credits!

That’s a good question, and I can’t speak for the parent, but for me, I like reading about a person’s journey of discovery. There were many insights this person did not have because he turned the task over to a power tool. People can use whatever tools they want. I also can spend my attention however I like. Reading about someone using AI is just boring to me.
I suppose its a bit like winning a first person shooter game with aim assist on

It is not an authentic display of pure skill
