Humans necessarily don't need such level of mental escape, as this generation and the ones after may be bred into absolute mental and psychological handicaps. By that I mean, gross morons and blockheads who may not be able to express themselves even to their fellow friends, on texts because an AI will do it for them. Not to talk of writing an essay, article, an application or an official email. To crown it all, we now have some members generating threads and discussion through AI chat GPT but am impressed of the resentment of by some campaign managers by preventing AI domination in their campaigns among participants which is something I think every educationist should replicate.
Surprisingly, the whole defense to this gradual human limitation by proponent of this AI chatbot is that it makes life easier and simpler. What a weak defense it pose!

Every technology or invention that has been created has both positives and negatives of its own, now it depends on an individual or simply the world how they will use it. ChatGPT is a great invention, it helps you do a lot of things that you may have always wanted to do but couldn't do for any reason that you may have, and it needs to be used for positive things.
A student having access to ChatGPT can use it to learn things that they find difficult with examples and everything, but if instead, they use it only to find direct answers or use it to write their homework and enjoy other things themselves, I don't think that the technology is to be blamed for things like that.
From what I have seen, ChatGPT is actually a convenient tool to workers especially if you don't have the knowledge and idea on how to construct an informative statements that are based on facts. My experience to it is that I don't know how to construct a sentence to an formal email to my coworker, then my sister introduced the ChatGPT and guide my to use it like "Can you make an formal email about something?" then it just dropped a whole email message that are actually formal. Still I used it as reference since I'd want to make it on my own words.
But for students, I agree that it might causes them to not take education seriously as they can rely on the information that ChatGPT gives. It's helpful to study still let's be real here that some of them might use it to their assignments, task and projects which is from AI not from them so in short their professor might give a grade to an AI instead to the student. Its helpful but it depends on the users of the technology if they only rely on it without absorbing knowledge.
