Ignoramus

A person who confidently presents themselves as knowledgeable despite only having a shallow understanding, often relying on quick searches or AI-generated answers instead of real comprehension.
Alternative: Pseudo-intellectual with search skills or Search-powered know-it-all
A person whose confidence comes from quick online answers rather than genuine understanding, often overestimating their expertise.
“He skimmed one AI answer and now lectures everyone… the confidence of an ignoramus is truly undefeated.”
“Watching him argue after a two-minute Google search is like witnessing an ignoramus discover Wi-Fi for the first time.”
“Nothing louder than an ignoramus who just found a ‘source’ and thinks it’s a personality.”
“He doesn’t understand the topic, but that’s never stopped an ignoramus with internet access.”
