Indeed. It doesn't even trend towards consistency.
It's much like the pattern-matching layer of human consciousness. Its function isn't to filter for truth, its function is to match knowns and potentials to patterns in its environment.
AI has no notion of critical thinking. It is purely positive "thinking", in a technical sense - it is positing based on what it "knows", but there is no genuine concept of self, nor even of critical thinking, nor even a non-conceptual logic or consistency filter.
