🎉 Ah, yes, the classic tale where #AI models are the ultimate enablers of delusional self-confidence! 🤖 Clearly, #ChatGPT is the proud sponsor of every amateur philosopher's journey into the abyss of misguided wisdom 💡—because who needs facts when you have overconfident ignorance? 😂

Driving - perception and self confidence vs the reality

The study found that 86 per cent of men feel safe behind the wheel compared with 78 per cent of women. Yet Department for Transport figures for 2024 show that men accounted for 76 per cent of all road fatalities and 61 per cent of casualties of all severity.

Ban male drivers?

Are we teaching students AI competence or dependence? https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsocialsciences/2025/10/17/are-we-teaching-students-ai-competence-or-dependence/
"Universities face a clear decision: do we want graduates who can merely use #AI, or citizens who can think with it?

The first path—continuing current approaches—produces students who appear competent but cannot function intellectually without AI assistance. They become sophisticated content consumers rather than independent thinkers.

The second path requires courage to acknowledge current failures and commitment to genuine educational reform. It means prioritising intellectual struggle over efficient content production, critical evaluation over polished outputs, and sustainable learning over short-term performance gains."

A quotation from A. A. Milne

Kanga said to Roo, “Drink up your milk first, dear, and talk afterwards.” So Roo, who was drinking his milk, tried to say that he could do both at once … and had to be patted on the back and dried for quite a long time afterwards.

A. A. Milne (1882-1956) English poet and playwright [Alan Alexander Milne]
Winnie-the-Pooh, ch. 10 “Christopher Robin Gives a Pooh Party” (1926)

Conspiracy theorists are often overconfident and believe their fringe views are mainstream, overestimating public agreement by a huge margin. This overconfidence acts as a buffer, making them resistant to facts. It's not about being "dumb"—it's a deep-seated trait that makes debunking incredibly difficult. #ConspiracyTheories #CognitiveBias #Overconfidence
