The four-variable account (produced output, underlying understanding, calibration accuracy, self-assessed ability) better explains phenomena like overconfidence, over- and under-reliance on AI, 'crutch' effects, and weak transfer than the simpler claim that generative AI merely amplifies the Dunning–Kruger effect.
