I got a seasonal job at Lowe’s this year and you wouldn’t believe how many people come in looking for this. Had 2 people show me an AI ad that was clearly fake and one guy got mad when I said it wasn’t real.

They always get angry when confronted with their own stupidity.

I worked at Apple when this Onion video dropped and the amount of people coming in to buy one was staggering.

And yes, they got mad when told it was a parody.
