Isn't this how every child learns?
Unless his father happens to be king of Macedonia, of course.

I can think of books I used to learn software engineering when I was younger which, in retrospect, I realize were not very good, and taught me some practices I now disagree with. Nevertheless, the book did help me learn, and got me to a point where I could think about it myself, and eventually develop my own understanding.
You are getting a stylised view of a topic from an entity who lacks the deep understanding needed to be able to fully distill the information. But it is enough to gain enough knowledge for you to feel confident which is still valuable but also dangerous.
And I assure you that many, many people are delegating to LLMs blindly e.g. it's a huge problem in the UK legal system right now because of all the invented case law references.
