Whaaaat? Language and knowledge are too complex to expect AI to interpret, understand, and summarize information for laypeople to understand technical qriting with no background? Who could have forseen this?
But seriously, just the concept being anything more than an organizer for studies and directing people to the actual source papers should have been seen as a red flag.
In my experience with the latest Stable Diffusion releases it's actually possible to get a computer to understand highly specific concepts such as "anime girl with huge boobs doing yardwork" or "anime girl with huge boobs buying gatorade at a gas station" or "anime girl with huge boobs on a golf course".

Honestly even if they could craft an AI up to the task language comprehension wise, they'd still have a problem trying to parse a definitive answer from a database of articles that frequently overstep their scope and make inconsistent and even contradictory claims of fact to each other.
Peer review has really dropped the ball on correcting the verbiage of people overstating one implication of the data as a singular fact in their conclusions for a while now.
