That is obviously tongue-in-cheek. There are fantasy books like The Bible and Spiderman, but I doubt they harm cognitive development, though those who take them too seriously can be harmful to others.
And there are plenty of books that impart useful information and help with cognitive development. Whereas it is my belief that generative AI, as a technology, harms cognitive development by letting people outsource a lot of the thinking they would have had to do themselves before.

The open question about AI is whether it will end up being like written language, where yes, we lost skills, but the force-multiplier effect of writing meant that we benefited more from the new skills that appeared over the next 50 years than we lost by no longer developing the skills that writing made irrelevant.
