AI makes people overconfident in their own judgment, warns new essay
DrKavner · x · 2026-09-04
The author argues AI is quietly making people overconfident: a polished model answer delivers not just the answer but a feeling that the problem is solved. The gap between "the model produced output" and "I understand this well enough to catch errors" is easy to miss. The piece doubles as promotion for the author's Cerebratech "AI audit" service for businesses.
