How many of the public know how a plane works and don't assume that auto pilot means you do nothing? Popular culture has people seeing pilots having their legs

How many of the public know how a plane works and don't assume that auto pilot means you do nothing? Popular culture has people seeing pilots having their legs on the console and drinking, parting with the crew while the plane is in autopilot.
The general public is extremely stupid and believe everything they see in movies/TV. In fact a large part of the population believe that Fentanyl can kill you just by touching it which is the most ridiculous thing ever. Yet people are so paranoid about it that police officers have collapsed in hysteria after touching Fentanyl. [1]
Candy wrappers say "Do no eat!" on them in the Unites States so you can not assume people know how an actual Autopilot works. Now you may say this is because companies are getting sued but that proves the point that you can actually sue someone for being this stupid and win.
