This is just textbook Gell-Mann amnesia. If the author doesn't read the paper how can he possibly know that? Even in this case when it's someone who has related knowledge, how can you know that you're being told something that's actually in the paper? LLMs confidently state nonsense all the time because there's no difference between how they produce a correct or incorrect answer. LLMs seem incredibly good at convincing people that they're now experts in everything. "Drilling down" is just giving more and more opportunities for that to happen.
