Context: I’m a second year medical student and currently residing in the deepest pit in the valley of the Dunning-Kruger graph, but am still constantly frustrated and infuriated with the push for introducing AI for quasi-self-diagnosis and loosening restrictions on inadequately educated providers like NP’s from the for-profit “schools”.

So, anyone else in a similar spot where you think you’re kinda dumb, but you know you’re still smarter than robots and people at the peak of the Dunning-Kruger graph in your field?

    I would agree with this. Interesting way of looking at it.

    But just an fyi, dunning Krueger effect has been disproven as a theory because the correlation the studies purported to find were only the same variables correlated with themselves.

    Dunning Krueger is a flawed theory and the effect is not real. But i hear you, it definitely feels true a lot of times.

    In my field, over confident people are unsafe.

    If someone uses confidence to show their competency, I have a tendency to back off and question their actual abilities until I see it in action. If someone I am working with is unaware of their own experience someone on my team could die.

    Edit: obviously in the medical field if y’all don’t know what you’re doing a patient could have a bad outcome or even die as well.
