Totally agree with this. I can see the desire to show off, but I don't understand how anyone can believe this is good marketing strategy. Any initial excitement I get from reading such announcements will be immediately extinguished when I discover I can't use the product yet. The primary impression I receive of the product is "vaporware." By the time it does get released I'll already have forgotten the details of the announcement, lost enthusiasm, and invested my time in a different product. When I'm choosing between AI services, I'll be thinking "no, I can't choose Gemini Pro 1.5 because it's not available yet, and who knows when it will be available or how good it'll be." Then when they make their next announcement, I'll be even less likely to give it any attention.
