Maybe they will have more respect for creative people?



Are the smartest actually more arrogant? I know it is a stereotype, but this study seem to suggest the opposite...

From my own experience there are plenty of arrogant dumb asses about and using an AI can lead to confirmation bias making arrogant dumb asses confidently wrong. Though some social media exposure can do the same.


Communication—the ability to convey ideas clearly but with tact and elegance—is a skill independent of IQ or creativity. Even highly intelligent and creative individuals can struggle with it.

However, AI, when used correctly, can refine and enhance expression, making communication more effective and polished. It serves as a powerful tool for articulating thoughts with greater clarity and sophistication. Mastering the art of AI-assisted communication, including its techniques and potential pitfalls, could undoubtedly be the subject of a valuable and insightful book for all spectrums of humanity.


One highly intelligent and extremely accomplished individual, who tutored me in calculus over 60 years ago, declared his achievements to be due to “occasional lapses in stupidity”.


I haven't noticed any real correlation between intelligence and arrogance. There does seem to be an inverse correlation between experience and arrogance, though.


Midwits are arrogant, highly intelligent people less so


intelligence is overrated


As well as underappreciated.
