Which is extremely valuable!

Don't underestimate how valuable it is for teachers to do exactly that. Taking existing information, making it digestable, presenting it in new and interseting ways is a teacher's bread and butter.

It’s valuable for use cases where the problem is “I don’t know the answer to this question and don’t know where to find it.” That’s not in and of itself a multibillion dollar business when the alternative doesn’t cost that much in the grand scheme of things (asking someone for help or looking for the answer).

Are you suggesting a chatbot is a suitable replacement for a teacher?

No I'm saying that a chatbot can be a superhuman teacher's assistant.
