gollark: People assume quantum computers are magic do-anything boxes, that regular computers "can't be random", that AI is "incapable of creativity" or might randomly become "conscious"/"sentient"/humanlike and rebel, etc.
gollark: Perhaps people just don't actually care much about accurate beliefs in subjects they don't personally use much, and vaguely assume that whatever they know about those things is right enough to discuss politics and whatever.
gollark: There are, I imagine, a lot of issues in other fields I don't know as much about.
gollark: Quantum computing, anything about computers, a decent amount of physics, AI.
gollark: Why would it be *their* fault?
