I don't think it's comparable to the first example and I don't think it's affirming the consequent. It's more like a paradox where you start to loop. Similar to a sentence such as "I always lie". Or it's kind of like a Dunning-Kruger where the premise would be that: 1. Smart people think they are dumb. 2. Dumb people think they are smart. So you start to loop between those never being able to figure out if you are actually smart or dumb.
