Precisely! I don’t see how people don’t see this as outright fraud.

The demonstration was a machine intelligence picking out meaning from a video.

The reality was a HUMAN using their meat brain to pick out the meaningful still frames and feeding that in to an AI that couldn’t have completed the demonstrated task on its own!

This is like making a demo of a robot cleaning a house, without acknowledging the janitorial staff doing the actual cleaning off-camera.

It’s absurdly fraudulent and should never have been made public.

Videos like this for such an existential product ought to have been reviewed by the CEO. After all, Google’s future relevance as a corporation depends on it.

It was requested, made, reviewed, approved, and then published.

A faked video of science fiction wishful thinking for major product launch.

Just wow.
