Rollercoaster Effect

A type of cognitive bias where a person will miss a lot of details the first time they experience something, and only catch those details and fully enjoy the experience when experiencing it for a second or even third time. This is due to the person being in a state of shock and strong emotion as things are constantly catching them by surprise. The name comes from the fact that this effect is most commonly and famously known to occur on intense rollercoasters.

I had to watch the anime series again, the rollercoaster effect really got me.

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."
