AI should go back to schools. And also “content producers” that publish post without any verification (even chatGPT and Gemini could tell correctly most circuits posted to Facebook are viral AI trash that does not work).
The Dunning-Kruger effect is a cognitive bias where people with limited competence in a specific domain overestimate their abilities.
At the heart of the bias is a deficit in metacognition—the ability to objectively step back and evaluate one’s own thought processes and performance.
The “Unknown Unknowns”: People who are inexperienced in a subject lack awareness of the full scope of what is required to be an expert.Inability to Judge Quality: As Dunning pointed out, the skills required to produce a correct answer or good performance are the exact same skills required to recognize a correct answer. If you lack the skill, you cannot recognize when you are making a mistake.
The “AI content producer effect” refers to how generative AI drastically increases content velocity while fundamentally shifting the skill requirements for creators. It acts as a massive lever for productivity but risks commoditizing output if human oversight and unique creative vision are removed
The effect manifests across several key areas:1. Shift from Creator to “Producer”Rather than starting from a blank page, human creatives are transitioning into editors, directors, and quality-control specialists. AI excels at drafting, storyboarding, and technical fixes, allowing a single human to handle larger, multi-channel projects.
2. Democratization vs. HomogenizationSmaller independent studios and creators can now produce premium-looking visual or audio content without massive budgets. However, over-reliance on the same algorithmic models risks flooding platforms with repetitive, homogeneous “slop” that degrades audience engagement
3. The Two-Tiered IndustryThe market is increasingly divided into two tiers:Automated/Volume Tier: Fast, cheap, and routine production serving audiences who prioritize convenience or immediate consumption.Premium/Bespoke Tier: Highly sought-after, human-made content centered around authentic experiences, brand trust, and distinct artistic taste.
4. New Workflow BottlenecksWhile AI solves execution bottlenecks (like transcription or basic coloring), it introduces new ones: governance, ethical concerns, and fact-checking. Hallucinations remain a critical issue, requiring human verification for topics like brand messaging and legal compliance.

The phrase “AI will eat the world” is a widely cited evolution of Marc Andreessen’s 2011 prediction that “software is eating the world.”

That person who post AI bullshit to Facebook is probably a troll, an idiot, or both.
Or a troll-idiot who thinks he’s a great electronics expert.
