		aeve890 50 days ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: LLMs are steroids for your Dunning-Kruger Everyone thinks they're the intelligent ones, of course. Which reinforces the repetition ad nauseam of Dunning Kruger. Which is on itself dumb AF because the effect described by Dunning and Kruger has been repeatedly exaggerated and misinterpreted. Which in turn is even dumber because Dunning-Kruger effect is debatable and reproducibility is weak at best.

We are all geniuses!
