OpenAI is providing a language model that has some understanding of the world (in order to do that language model thing) and is surprisingly correct in some situations as a knowledge base.
The key thing is that it isn't a knowledge base. It doesn't claim to have correct information about the world. It has the ability to translate a question in natural language into what would be an answer in a natural language - but it isn't necessarily correct because its about the language rather than the knowledge.
People misusing the LLM as a knowledge base are at fault just as a person misusing a CD tray as a cup holder is at fault if it doesn't work correctly as a cup holder.

And: > is surprisingly correct in some situations as a knowledge base. This is key. It seems to work well for this use case so people end up thinking it does.
