What is interesting IMO about the "confidently wrong" phenomenon is that this was also commonly found in internet forums and online commentary in general prior to widespread use of today's confidently wrong "AI". That is, online commenters routinely were and still are "confidently wrong". IMHO and IME, the "confidentlay wrong" phenonmenon was and still is greater represented in online commnentary than "IRL".

No surprise IMO that, generally, online commenters and so-called "tech" companies who tend to be overly fixated on computers as the solution to all problems, are also the most numerous promoters of confidently wrong "AI".

The nature of the medium itself and those so-called "tech" companies that have sought to dominate it through intermediation and "ad services"^1 could have something to do with the acceptance and promotion of confidently wrong "AI". Namely, its ability to reduce critical thinking and the relative ease with which uninformed opinions, misinformation, and other non-factual "confidently wrong" information can be spread by virtually anyone.

1. If "confidently wrong" information is popular, if it "goes viral", then with few exceptions it will be promoted by these companies to drive traffic and increase ad services revenue.

Please note: I could be wrong.
