Is it just me or did gen AI allow companies to cheat a lot more with their demos/showcases? I feel like there’s absolutely no way to tell if what’s shown is representative, cherry-picked or outright faked. I mean, it’s non-reproducible by nature, so it even gives plausible deniability to unscrupulous marketing departments.
I’d rather watch a YouTuber or streamer do a real project in a tool too see if and how it works in practice.
- devmor 2y agoI don't think it's that big of a change. I've sat on both sides of many meetings where designers showcased mockups of functionality that didn't exist and wasn't even sanity-checked for a possibility to be engineered in the first place.

- dharma1 2y agodo you know when they're rolling out? I saw something about waitlist mentioned, but no link. Thanks!
- karaterobot 2y agoIf you watched the keynote, it was pretty clearly not cherry-picked or faked. It didn't come up with perfect images or text every time. It felt very much like what happens when you enter a prompt into a chat-based AI. As additional proof that it was not faked, the CEO was clearly distracted by the notifications from hundreds of people requesting access to the live file he was demoing from, which was a pretty good live demo moment.
