Or we’d just be used to them and dealing with an aggressive shark would just be a thi g you do

Honestly, humans are a whole lot more dangerous to sharks than sharks are to humans.

Some sharks are apex predators, but we are the planet’s superpredator.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shark_attack

Out of more than 500 shark species, only three are responsible for a double-digit number of fatal, unprovoked attacks on humans: the great white, tiger, and bull.^[6]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shark

Shark species are increasingly becoming threatened because of commercial and recreational fishing pressures, the impact of non-shark fisheries on the seabed and shark prey species, and other habitat alterations such as damage and loss from coastal development and marine pollution.^[6] Rising demands for shark products has increased pressure on shark fisheries, but little monitoring or management occurs of most fisheries.^[7] Major declines in shark stocks have been recorded over the past few decades; some species had declined over 90% and population declines of 70% were not unusual by 1998.^[8] In particular, harvesting young sharks before they reproduce severely impacts future populations.

Sharks are caught by humans for shark meat or shark fins. Many shark populations are threatened by human activities. Since 1970, shark populations have been reduced by 71%, mostly from overfishing^[8] and mutilating practice such as shark finning.^[9][10]

In 2008, it was estimated that nearly 100 million sharks were being killed by people every year, due to commercial and recreational fishing.^[131][132] In 2021, it was estimated that the population of oceanic sharks and rays had dropped by 71% over the previous half-century.^[8]

Sharks are often killed for shark fin soup. Fishermen capture live sharks, fin them, and dump the finless animal back into the water. Shark finning involves removing the fin with a hot metal blade.^[132] The resulting immobile shark soon dies from suffocation or predators.^[138] Shark fin has become a major trade within black markets all over the world. Fins sell for about $300/lb in 2009.^[139]

The three most-dangerous-to-humans species listed above were the great white, tiger, and bull sharks.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_white_shark

The International Union for Conservation of Nature lists the white shark as a vulnerable species globally and critically endangered regionally in European and Mediterranean waters. Major threats have included accidental catching by commercial fisheries, recreational fishing, and entanglement in protective nets near beaches.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiger_shark

Tiger sharks have only one recorded natural predator, the orca.^[6] It is considered a near-threatened species because of finning and fishing by humans.^[1]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bull_shark

The bull shark is listed as a vulnerable species on the IUCN Red List and its population is decreasing. Despite its status, the species isn’t named as a protected species. Threats to the bull shark are numerous, such as getting caught in fishing nets, overfishing for their oil, skin, and meat, pollution to their habitat, and more.[^[1](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bull_shark#cite_note-69)

We’re doing a lot in the oceans, such as killing 100 Million Sharks, so that’s bogus.
