Are we to assume that we are going to lose our skills with these AIs? All I know is that once we acquire our skills, we have them for life, even after years of not using them, we always have them, because it's embedded in our subconscious mind.

A driver, even if he hasn't driven for years he can still drive; you never unlearn your skill, it just modifies. I don't know, but a writer is always a writer with or without the aid of AI, Whether it's your passion or a hobby, you have a writer's knack and spontaneity, you have it subconsciously.

Only drugs kill your brain, not a tool to enhance your creativity, that's all I know. I guess it depends on how you use these AIs.

This is not how skills work. You'll eventually forget even a language if you are not using it. Skills require constant practicing if you don't want your skills eventually degrade.

Driving a car doesn't require much skill tbh because driving is pretty intuitive process. Main thing you need to remember are the rules. There aren't even that many of them, and you pay attention to them by just walking in the traffic, because you don't want to get a hit by a car. But you eventually lose most of that skill without practicing. Or why would competitive drivers need to practice ever again after they had polished their skills?

I am guessing you didn't read the study. Because by not using your neural connectivity patterns means that you eventually weaken them, and lose them. Also most drugs don't weaken those connections. Not using your brain does.
