If people actually knew what percentage of tech demos, even by the biggest companies, were at least partially faked, they would be offended.
Unless I can actually use it myself and replicate results, I just assume that tech demos are complete crap.
Remember how maybe a year or two ago, Google showed a demo of a digital assistant independently calling and making an appointment for you with a hair dresser? It even added natural pauses, and "um"s and that sort of thing. If that was real, I think a lot of people would want it. Where is it? They already made it for the demo, right? So it seems like all they need to do is to sell access to it. Why would you put all that effort and make something and then not sell it? It’s almost as if it never existed and the entire demo was fake.
That feature was actually legit, it existed on pixel phones a couple years back I have used it myself to make an appointment.
Well, like I said, the point is that I refuse to believe it until I’ve actually used it myself, because they’ve squandered all credibility with me.
That demo struck me as a cherry-picked example. Can it work? Sure. Is it always that smooth? I highly highly doubt it.
I worked in a restaurant and received many Google assistant calls that sounded completely natural.
Throwback to Microsoft’s pre-Kinect project dubbed Xbox ‘Natal’ way back in the day.
Being younger, I—along with many—really thought that was the close future of gaming. In hindsight, of course it was all fabricated.
I’m not surprised by Google’s Gemini demo video either. The way that which the whole demo was narrated and played out made it seem too linear, too perfect.Ahhh Peter Molyneux… I still have no idea how he has a job in the industry after all the things he’s pulled.
He has a finished Black & White 3 he uses as leverage, threatening to sell it to a publisher unless he keeps getting employment
I can’t believe I fell for that Milo demo, they were just acting.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.
The page doesn’t load, bad bot.
edit: oh it loaded after ~30 secs, but threw an error 1002 and told me to look at logs.
Tell me you’re insecure about your AI tech without telling me you’re insecure about your AI tech.
Well… yeah.
