'seem like' would swap well with 'appear to be', but frankly I'm not following your similies.

The similarity between the pen and AI is that both are tools that help mankind build better works of thought.

Technology progresses and mankind becomes more effective all the time.

At every stage, some people argue that the loss of manual ability outweights the gained technological ability.

I remember people arguing against computer based navigation because people would lose their ability to navigate by map.

People largely did lose the ability to navigate by map. It hasn't mattered mostly because people have their computers with them often enough to not get lost, but I can tell you from having been in the Army it is a bitch teaching people to navigate without any electronics.

A pen is a means to write down and not forget the thoughts you're having, enabling long form information storage and transmission. It doesn't formulate the thoughts for you. You might be thinking more of a ghostwriter. Rich kids have always been able to pay nerds to do their homework for them. Now that technology is available to the masses and we no longer need nerds.

ChatGPT gave you a useless suggestion to justify its own salary, in my opinion. Seem to appear is a pointless, cosmetic edit that doesn't change the meaning of what you wrote in any way.
