So what's the problem? If ChatGPT can do all that stuff then there's no reason to teach students how to do it. Same reason we don't teach assembly in programming classes anymore, since compilers can do that for us. Instead, students can now move on to more complex things. For example, maybe the teacher can have their 2nd graders use ChatGPT to reproduce a research paper on quantum computing and submit their results to a peer-reviewed scientific journal.

Not just a research paper, anything! The 2nd graders -hell, the 1st graders!- can use ChatGPT to submit articles to wikipedia. They can use it to submit articles to news outlets. They can use it to generate recipes to submit to recipe aggregators. The possibilities are truly endless! In fact, the people working in those publications and tasked to review all the submissions, don't have to do that anymore. They can just feed the submissions to ChatGPT, and let ChatGPT generate a review for them. See, there is no read to write anything anymore, and there's no need to read anything anymore, either. We can just let ChatGPT do all that stuff for us! Of course, a few years down the line, there won't be any reason to submit, or publish, articles or anything else anymore, either, since there won't be anyone left who can actually read, besides ChatGPT, and that would be pointless if it will be ChatGPT that's produced all the writing already. But, I'm sure that all this will sort itself out in the long run.
