This is what I took away from it as well. The fact that she so readily quoted really biased and disputed articles and presented them as though they carried as much weight as the actual science sat really wrong with me. She clearly didn’t spend very long looking into the articles she presented.
It makes me think of LLMs, really. She talks with authority about a lot of subjects, but ultimately she’s a physicist. Sure, she’s scientifically literate and that can be used to make sense of articles and studies in other disciplines, at least to an extent. However, it doesn’t make her an authority in any of those disciplines. Then there’s the time constraint to keep in mind as well; she might be able to analyse the literature and give a sensible take on the matter, but not when her schedule involves making one ~5 minute video on any given topic per day.
