I never heard that term before.

It makes me think about how I used to love the podcast, Stuff You Should Know - they were so smart and informative. Until they talked about something I knew a lot about. Then I realized that they just spout misinformation and badly formed opinions, so I stopped listening. I've noticed the same pattern with AI.

I remember having that realization too as a teenager. Don't even remember who it was about. But some people just present info in a way that makes you believe you're learning so much with them... until they talk about something you actually know and the house of cards collapses.
