English is not my main language but wouldn't it be "knowledgeable" [about the specific topic] rather than "smart" here?

Both work, smart is more of a colloquial meaning here and a joke, while knowledgable is more formal and literal. Also my generation uses self deprecating humor to communicate quite a bit
