Is there a term for the logical fallacy of "being a specialist in a field making people wrongly assume their knowledge applies in other fields"?
Sort of related to Dunning-Kruger but not the same (Dunning-Kruger is "some knowledge in one field makes people wrongly assume more knowledge in that field").

Several accounts on the online platform Polymarket
laid bets on a US-Iran ceasefire over the weekend that appeared to show
signs of insider knowledge, according to experts.
Eight accounts, all newly created around 21 March, bet a total of nearly $70,000 (£52,000) on there being a ceasefire.
They stand to make nearly $820,000 if such a deal is reached before 31 March.
An account that made the same bet was created shortly before the US struck Iran on 28 February. …

The reasons we consider plagiarism to be cheating in school and malpractice in professional contexts are many of the same reasons that LLMs are not going to replace all knowledge-based human labor. (Details left as an exercise for the reader.)
And yes, a whole lot of what LLMs do •would• count as plagiarism if one of my students did it manually, and •should• count as plagiarism just the same if they use a machine to do it — not just in a “that’s cheating!!” sense, but more importantly in a “that’s not really doing the work” sense.

Content warning: Long post with dentist tips because I'm discovering all this

Hi all, since I've just discovered all this information about how to properly take care of one's teeth (had to recently go to dentist, for some reason we are not really taught this in France) I thought I would share the knowledge, if you know better, please correct me!
What should you do to take care of your teeth at any age:

Deine eigene Marke googlen: die einzige SERP, die du zu fast 100 % kontrollieren kannst. 🏷️
Trotzdem sehe ich oft: schwaches Knowledge Panel, veraltete Sitelinks, fehlende Wikipedia-Beschreibung, People-Also-Ask voll mit Konkurrenz.
Hebel: strukturiertes About auf der Website, sameAs zu Wikipedia/Wikidata/LinkedIn, konsistente Unternehmensbeschreibung in allen Entity-Quellen, Monitoring der ersten 10 Ergebnisse.
Dein Brand SERP ist dein digitales Türschild.
