My experience is that intellectual humility is a variable, not a universal.

Seen some students very willing to recognise their weaknesses, others who are hamstrung by their hubris. (And not just students, the worst code I've seen in my career generally came from those most certain they're right).

And yes, this is a problem with some LLMs that are trained to always have an answer rather than to acknowledge their uncertainty.
