Yeah, they don't do analysis but can fool people because they can regurgitate someone else's analysis from their training data.
If could just be matching a pattern like "I have a network problem with . Your issue is and you need to ." Where the problem and solution are related to each other but the problem isn't related to the symptoms, because the correlation with "network problem" ends up being stronger than the correlation with the description of the symptoms.
And that specific problem could likely be solved just by adding a description of that process to the training data. But there will be endless different versions of it that won't be fixed by that bandaid.
