1. Why do that at all? Describing your program in writing seems better all around.
Are you sure you're not the one who's asking for a cool demo?
3. Rolling out releases gradually is something most tech companies do these days, particularly when they could attract a large audience and consume a lot of resources. There are solid technical reasons for this.
You may not need to roll things out gradually for a small site, but things are different at scale.

- skybrian 3y agoGood point on disabilities. I guess they're not working on that yet? Whether you can get away with doing things unannounced depends on how much attention the company gets. Some companies have a lot of journalists watching them and writing about everything they do, so when they start doing A/B testing there will be stories written about the new feature regardless. Better to put out some kind of announcement so the journalists write something more accurate? (This approach seems pretty common for Google.) Similarly, many game company can't really do beta testing without it leaking. OpenAI is in the spotlight. Hype will happen whether they want it or not.
