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."

mashed potato ice cream cone effect

The "mashed potato ice cream cone effect" is a surprise feeling (often negative) when you eat or bite into one thing thinking it's something else that looks similar

I poured myself some salsa to have with my tortilla chips. It wasn't until the first chip that I realized it was spaghetti sauce in a salsa jar. I quickly learned the meaning of the mashed potato ice cream cone effect

Diploma Effect

When you grind really hard for 4-5 years for your Bachelor’s Degree and once you finally graduate, your diploma doesn’t come in the mail for weeks. This leaves you in a state of limbo. Did I graduate? Should I be submitting an assignment right now? I think I graduated. It just doesn’t feel real yet.

“Hey man! How do you feel to be completely finished with college?”

“I don’t know, I feel strange. I think it’ll hit me sooner or later. It’s that Diploma Effect.
