For the same reason calculators should be banned. Outsourcing your thinking is not the point of school.

Neither tool is doing any such thing. Calculators won't solve the other side of the triangle for you, they won't remember SOHCAHTOA for you, just tell you what sin(27) factually is. No critical thought is lost when searching "CC-BY icon" in Google Images either.

AI, however, does readily assist in outsourcing critical thinking. Which is why it's silly for Google to conflate Search and Gemini. And why it's silly that you're doing approximately the same.
