Both. Sure, the actual exchange might be made-up. The problem is that it's entirely plausible it is real. I've seen this kind of exchange happen on video (which of course could also be made up). It's common for television shows to do stories on what the "person on the street" knows about some topic. For local news stories, it's usually to showcase how poorly educated "the youths" are today.

Periodically a reporter will go to a public place and showcase how people answer questions that arguably should be fairly easy to answer with an elementary school education or if they check in with some news source regularly and actually understand the topic. The worst ones are where they are "confidently incorrect".

Jimmy Kimmel does this regularly for laughs. I've seen several examples going back decades from various local news programs. In all cases, I'm confident they are showing the 10% of interviewees that were the most clueless, and not showing the other 90%. Still, the level of cluelessness on the ones they do show is often truly frightening.
