Obvious e.g.
Fake: Sleeping longer causes sickness
Real: Sick people sleep longer.

1:
Doomscrolling causes mental health issues
Real?: Mental health: demotivated people doomscroll

2:
Fake: AI makes people stupid (IMO it's actually GOOD for studying, info, a lot)
Real?: stupid people may use AI for literally everything
