Misused Autopilot Effect

This effect happens when consumers of a product (such as DAIN App or especially Telsa Autopilot) incorrectly uses a product, and unknowingly damages the reputation of certain software or products. The most notable case is Telsa's autopilot, where people are negligent and recklessly drive and get into accidents, damaging the reputation and credibility of those consumer products from news outlets reporting on these incidents.

James: "Ugh, another case of the misused autopilot effect! I wish people would start paying more attention while driving!"
Adam: "Yeah, isn't negligent driving, like, illegal?
James: "It is. It really is."

The Azealia Effect is named after popular female rapper and controversial figure, Azealia Banks, as she herself has been in various controversies over the decade.

"Why no one cancel Kendrick Lamar for saying homophobic slurs?"

"Male privilege, perhaps? A bigotted fanbase? maybe even The Azealia Effect?"
