I know someone personally that while at a kid's soccer game said to me:
"Hey did you see that new engine Elon made? It runs on water and he's going to be putting it in all of his cars! He's also trying to mine H3 from the moon!"
Because I'm friends with this person and I like them I try to play dumb as to not be insulting and ask them to pull it up and show me. Once he does I say "oh that looks like it's AI generated" and he sort of agrees.
I don't think this person has a low IQ or anything, but I do consider them sort of ignorant (but not typical racist Trump supporter ignorant), just low-information.
We need to try to politely call this stuff out when our friends and family are being tricked because it is doing them (and us) real harm.
