It's shifting the thinking process to someone people assume are knowledgeable. We've done it since the dawn of time from depending on tribe leaders, religious leaders, kings, government, scientists, influencers now currently to supposed "AI".

It really didn't matter if they were right, wrong or making things up along the way. It's how stuff like religion from thousand years ago still persist.

It's really not out of character.
