Interestingly the Dunning–Kruger effect was formulated in 1999 yet Dunning and Kruger there are earlier observations along similar lines by philosophers and scientists; including Confucius ("Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance");
Bertrand Russell ("One of the painful things about our time is that those who feel certainty are stupid; and those with any imagination and understanding are filled with doubt and indecision");
Charles Bukowski ("The problem with the world is that intelligent people are full of doubts while the stupid ones are full of confidence");
Charles Darwin whom they quoted in their original paper ("Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge").
Shakespeare expressed a similar observation in As You Like It ("The fool doth think he is wise; but the wise man knows himself to be a fool"
