How much of this is actually due to the recipient of the information being low-intelligence? If we use Communications theory for this (SCMR Model), having an intelligent sender and content won't do much use if the receiver of said information is unable to understand and use it.

I see it with coworkers all the time. They'll ask ChatGPT to do an analysis and it'll output test results for a T-test. They don't know how to interpret it at all, and so it's ultimately meaningless to them. They're just using "stat sig" as a way to make a non-technical VP happy. In situations like this, I don't think a highly intelligent source, model or human, can make the recipient be more intelligent than they actually are.
