They think this is impressive.
I read books because I want knowledge and understanding. You get bite-sized bits of information. We are not the same.
They don't value intelligence and think everyone is just as likely to be accurate as the LLM. Their distrust for academics and research makes them think that their first assumptions or guesses are more correct than anything established.

"hallucinations"
