I don't think that study supports your assertion.
Parent is saying that AI tools can be useful in structured learning environments (i.e. curriculum and teacher-driven).
The study you linked is talking about unstructured research (i.e. participants decide how to use it and when they're done).
You can no true Scotsman it, but that study is a structured task. It's possible to generate an ever-more structured tutorial, but that's asking ever more more from teachers. And to what end? Why should they do that? Where's the data suggesting it's worth the trouble? And cui bono?
Students have had access to modern LLMs for years now, which is plenty long to spin up and read out a study...
