If you're looking for a citation about this, the 1999 Dunning-Kurger paper "Unskilled and unaware" [1] is about this.

People who are unskilled at a task are unaware of what that task performed correctly is. So, somebody who can't count calories is unable to tell that the AI can't perform the task correctly either.

Fwiw invoking Dunning-Kruger is beyond trite at this point.

Which is a good thing because it means we can talk like normal humans ("people don't know that it's unreliable") instead of acting like we're making such a profound claim that it needs a citation and psychological dissection.
