Yes! They ARE "different"!
Question A has the word "the" in it.
Question B does not!
If you're asking about the "meaning" of the questions, then yes, they are STILL different. The reason is b/c Question A refers to specific persons and the Question B is referring to people, in general.
I hope I didn't confuse you even more! LOL
Good luck!

One: Other people are conducting an activity that could be considered illegal, or at least abnormal.
Two: Those other people are actually living a...life, omg! I know, I know, please remain calm, but that's what they're actually doing!
