You're correct that it's an exercise in introspection, rather than relying on the AI's own knowledge. It was clear to me when trying to write explanations to its questions where my understanding was starting to get fuzzy and hand wavy.
A nice bonus was to get it produce a scorecard of correct, nearly correct and incorrect explanations. I could see these as a good jumping off point for me to do more learning/research. Though I suspect the AI would be less accurate at this in a more niche topic than I chose (refrigeration).
