Confident bullshit wins over long-winded but factually correct explanations.

Incidentally, same reason chatgpt became so popular - it's optimized for sounding confident over being correct.

Not the reason. It is an attribute it has, but the reason it's popular is it's ability to quickly summarize data rather than having to dig through many sources.

And it does that often wrong but always confident.
