The more you claim expertise in something, the more your urge for money shows; it’s the main correlation and causation in the ‘creator economy’ that neither algorithms nor humans yet understand. Although related, this extends beyond the Dunning-Kruger effect observed in social media and beyond. ‘The rise of overnight X (AI or anything else) experts’ is a concept specific to social media and the so-called ‘creator economy’ that just gets amplified by the AI bubble.

I believe this is just transient and all new economic models eventually settle down and rationalize, much like the dot-com crash did to the dot-com bubble a few years ago. What’s special about the current situation is that two major bubbles are converging: social media and generative AI.
