"Thinking" about it. (Not too smart in the first place.) It is contemplated that an intelligent person will not assert they are smart! A wise person (intelligent) realizes that there is only one of two sides to that claim that will be demonstrated. That side is not the smart side. For that reason, the usual comment has been "At the risk of appearing/being stupid". The phrase "At the risk of appearing smart." has not entered into my ears that I can remember.
A question develops whether someone is complimenting/helping or cursing/impeding another person if they comment that the person is smart?
Your decision. Make the smart one.

History is dependable. A good example of its repetitious nature is the shootout at the OK Corral being a template for the shout out at the Home Depot corral (parking lot/garage).

A rumor is that sometimes the simplest answer is the correct answer.
