[ AI ][ CREDIBILITY ][ NOUN ]
When someone confidently presents AI-generated or AI-assisted knowledge as their own deep expertise, without disclosing how much of it came from a tool.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"Total fake expert syndrome, he was just reading straight off an AI summary the whole video."
LORE & ORIGIN
Borrows 'syndrome' from the same self-aware-diagnosis naming pattern used across internet slang, applied to the specific credibility gap AI tools introduced.
