This is the issue. It's more like the dumbest guy in the room confidently convincing the everyone else that they know what they're talking about.
As a pattern matching engine it's extraordinarily good. Ask it about the implications of some obscure theory and it will usually correctly interpret your question and return some sentences summarising the current state of knowledge on that theory. Ask it to explain it in simpler terms and it will simplify the sentence structure, swap some words and usually retain meaning.
But then... ask it for some reading material on the same obscure theory and it'll use its knowledge of scientific papers on those theories and academic citation to return a well formatted list of papers with plausible titles and authors with the significant flaw that none of these papers exist. The dumbest guy in the room would struggle to make up plausible sounding scientific papers even if you gave them the reading list, but then the dumbest person in the room wouldn't be dumb enough to use the reading list to make up some nonexistent papers in the first place! (and ironically nor would the dumbest information retrieval algorithm in the room...)
