Good for your daughter but doesn’t that example tell us the opposite of what this article is trying to argue? If the majority of a group of young people choose to use AI for their project, that doesn’t indicate that the majority hate it. That would indicate that they like and trust it.

It might seem they are lazy and not willing to put in the hard work to learn for themselves. The follow up questions confirmed this.

Replace AI with Microsoft Word and it makes sense. Lots of people use it and lots of people hate it.

The article is saying what happens after people do use it, not that they can or do avoid altogether.

Or that they hate the project more than using AI

You can use something and simultaneously hate it. For example, smoking.

That's not to say AI is addictive. It's probably not.

But, if all your classmates are using AI then maybe the workload increases to compensate. Then, you have no choice but to use AI. We see this pattern with companies all the time. They often don't want to advertise aggressively or employ dark patterns. But their competitors do, and then eventually the only way to stay competitive is to join them.

Fair; I admit I climbed onto my hobbyhorse here.
