People believing this stuff is AGI also makes me think of how my poor, illiterate, provincial grandmother who when she moved to live with us "in the big city" used to get really confused when she saw the same actor in more than one soap opera on TV: she confused the immitation of real life which is acting (soap operate acting, even, which is generally pretty bad) with actual real life.
