your sense of humor is much appreciated. couldn't have said it better. hah :) basically i would suggest the study to expand to everyone doing anything titled AI at this moment.

And HN!

HN about anything finance related is funny. Basically same level as reddit/gamestonks

While I get your point and agree, there apparently is no Dunning-Kruger effect. It was determined to be yet another case of faulty data analysis in behavioral psych.[1]

That paper was thoroughly rebutted when posted to HN.

But Gwern has written about some earlier debunkings of the D-K effect, ad furthermore D-K was never about the popular misconception of D-K ("incompetent people think they are more competent than competent people").

I don't think that's a mainstream take. But I can settle with:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overconfidence_effect

Or even

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grandiose_delusions

That first article cites more behavioral psych research, which has the absolute worst track record of data analysis. After so many retractions and scandals, I find it difficult to know what to believe anymore.
