What do you mean they aren't used to computers making mistakes? Have they ever asked Siri/Alexa something and got useless answers? Have they ever seen ASR or OCR software making mistakes? Have they called semi-automated call centers with prompt "say what you need instead of clicking numbers" only to hear repeated "sorry, I don't understand you" until you scream "connect me to a bloody human"? Have they ever seen a situation when automated border control gates just don't work for whatever reason and there are humans around to sort this out? Have they ever used google translate in last 20 years for anything remotely complicated, like a newspaper article? Have they ever used computers for actual math? Is computer particularly good at solving partial differential equations, for example? Have they ever been in a situation where GPS led them to a closed road or a huge traffic jam? Have they ever played video games where computers sometimes make stupid things?
Sure, computers are better at arithmetic humans, but let's be honest, nobody uses chatgpt as a calculator. Last 20 years AI is getting everywhere, we keep laughing that sometimes AI systems make very obvious stupid mistakes. Now we finally have a system that makes subtle mistakes very confidently and suddenly people are like "I thought computers are never wrong". I can't fathom how anyone would expect that.
