Yes, but now that we have a tool, it will never go away.
Nobody knows how to grow food, or build their houses, or do 100 little things that we rely on for our modern life. Do we really need to be able to "write" a sentence.
My kids (and my own) handwriting is almost unreadable, but by age 10 all of their work is done on a laptop. Do they even need to be able to write by hand any more?
update: I'm more concerned that we cannot yet run these tools locally on computers we control, and with information we feed into them.
I'm more concerned about the dystopian nightmare of having the advertising industry in charge of our sentence writing tools.

Tools can go away. They can come back, too. But they can go away. I would also point to the Japanese experience with firearms. But I'm guessing you already know about that too.
