They’re not experts.

Sensitive but uninformed. Expert is a common AI concept, going back for decades. It wasn’t invented with LLM.

That’s totally what they were talking about.
What do you mean, my prompts specifically ask for a phd level expert in every field?

"Expertise" is a completely different beast from "knowledge".

Expecting to gain it from a model only through prompting is similar to expecting to become capable of something only because you bought a book on the topic.

This was sarcasm, sorry if that wasn’t clear.
