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 think you answered your own question by bringing up Dunning Krueger. It’s perfectly coherent to at the same time recognize one’s own flaws and also recognize that other people may be too dumb to do the same. That being said, it probably isn’t healthy. A better way to look at it might be to recognize that the level of expertise you are expecting of yourself isn’t necessarily what others are expecting of you. At least not at all times.
