I think using AI to help you write or rewrite something you want to convey is fine, the difference is using it as a replacement of thinking instead of a tool.
The screenshots part is crazy.

Helping you "write or rewrite something you want to convey" is already using it as a replacement of thinking.
Is hiring a <professional> for a <task> a replacement for thinking?
If the task is ghost writing, absolutely.
If the task is thinking yes, obviously.
I think it depends upon the effort involved.
Think the difference between AI saying "This paragraph seemed muddled and lacks a clear point. Consider rewriting it." vs "Here, I rewrote this paragraph to focus it more on bridging the previous and next paragraphs."
The problem with this as a metric is that it is loosely defined so it becomes quite easy for a person to twist it to justify almost any level of AI usage as "well, it is still more effort than <X>".
I promise every last single person would rather read your actual thoughts than some clanker slop.
If you're not able to convey it maybe you haven't spent long enough thinking about it?
