Why query error in MySQL?

Question

MySQL

Hello, I'm trying to master the MySQL + Node. For some reason, when executing this code:

const mysql = require('mysql');

const connection = mysql.createConnection({
  host: 'localhost',
  user: 'root',
  password: 'password'
});

connection.connect();
const person = 'Ginger Baker';
      
const query = connection.query("INSERT INTO ?? SET ?? = ?", ['artist', 'name', 'person'], (err, rows) => {
  if (err) {
    console.log('Ошибка запроса');
    console.log(err);
  } else {
    console.log(rows);
  };
});
connection.end();

I get this:

At the same time, opening and closing the connection occur without errors, I checked. What is the problem?
