I was once in a restaurant and behind me was a group of 20 something year old people. Overheard someone asking something like:"so what are y’alls thoughts about VR? (This was just before the whole AI boom.)
And one guy said:“ith’s kind of scary to think about.”
I was super confused at that point, and they talked about how they heard people disappear in the cyberspace and people not knowing what’s real and what’s just VR.
I don’t think they were stupid, but they formed a very strong opinion about something they clearly didn’t know anything about.

I’m starting to realize how easily fooled people are by this stuff. The average person cannot be this stupid, and yet, they are.
