Honestly, I bet he has the skills, he just didn't use them because he didn't care, or is overworked, or for whatever reason.
A lot of people don't understand the limitations/weaknesses of AI. The carelessness was probably more in not actually learning about the tool he was relying on (and just assuming it was reliable information).
It's like the aeroplane lawyer case some time ago. People treat the computer as an arbiter of truth, and/or think checking is just asking the chatbot "Did you use a real citation for this?".
You make a valid point, and there are certainly more considerations than my original reply would lead one to believe. Cheers.
