This isn't specific to "uninformed people born into the information age", or even supernatural-believing or religiously-inclined people. People assign meaning to seeing someone who looks just like somebody who lived 150 years ago and deem him a time traveler. They see a TikTok on how the Chick-fil-a spelling is not what they thought and conclude we're living in a simulation. The list goes on, but people like to pile on the religious because it's easy.
And those people may be uninformed when it comes to tech -- which is in part understandable because why should a plumber learn to read binary, but be more humble. You're equally just as "uninformed" as they are in when you enter their world.
One mistake newer generations make is thinking that we're the first to observe something. People's tendency to 'discover ghosts' is as old as the earth.
People accidentally burn their clothes when ironing and they think its a Virgin Mary apparition. A jet flying at a very high altitude? Aliens.
