    I’ll be the first to hop in on the AI hate train, but isn’t this just broadly true of all humans? We’re pretty notoriously awful at identifying our own gaps in knowledge and skill. I imagine that the constant confirmation from AI exacerbates the issue, but I don’t think it’s entirely AI’s fault that people are bad at recognizing their shortcomings.

      The AI also has the tendency inherited from the broad human tendency in training.

      So you get overconfident human + overconfident AI which leads to a feedback loop that lands even more confident in BS than a human alone.

      AI can routinely be confidently incorrect. Especially people who don’t realize this and don’t question outputs when it aligns with their confirmation biases end up misled.

      This article is about how AI exacerbates those tendencies. And since there are so few ways to accurately measure the functionality of AI in general, those self-segments are a significant portion of AI’s value proposition.

    So do I sometimes but that’s just ADHD, hatred of banal competition, imposter syndrome, or simply “still learning the thing.”

    Yes I hate corporate self evaluations, how could you tell? Fuck it, I’ll just put “I’m the absolute best person to ever walk the earth mr bossman. Money me please” again, because fuck you for making me do this in the first place.
