This has been my experience as well, consistently. It's similar a phenomenon attributed to news: it's confident, and sounds plausible until the topic is on something you know, then you realize it's full of errors.
I don't trust ChatGpt to teach me something new; when I ask it about topics I do know about, it answers in a way that's a mix of correct, incorrect, and borderline/misleading information; all mixed with a confident tone. Based on this, I wouldn't use it to learn information or solve a problem where I don't already have a solid grasp on the material.
