There’s a long history of users and consumers having unrealistic ideas of technology true capabilities. How many times have we encountered users who think poor quality images can be computer “enhanced” to show detail that’s not really there, because countless murder mystery movies and tv shows do exactly that?

The blurred line between fantasy/hallucinations and reality will only become worse, I fear.
