i actually did address that in my paper! The thing is, that it's still generative. You did not actually study by making a machine generate, say, flashcards for you. Part of the act of studying and learning is learning HOW to properly gather information. Also, i disagree with AI from a moral and environmental standpoint so even if it was amazing i still choose not to use it :)
people use their brains, ai does not. AI uses immense amounts of water and power to generate bullshit that humans could easily do themselves if they weren't so lazy. AI is often wrong, too, and you wouldn't even know because you didn't do the research in order to know if it's correct or not. The difference is EVERYTHINY
