News Google admits the Gemini AI demo hands-on video was staged

[Admin]

Google's Gemini AI hands-on demo wasn't recorded live. Instead, it was cobbled together using video clips, still images, text prompts, and voice-over-dubbing.

We need actual laws about "bending the truth" on advertising a product.

Any claim that isnt actually true is effectively snake oil....a lie.

Shouldnt be allowed to lie to a person to sell product as thats scamming a person.

Indeed. But I bet they will use the Fox News excuse....

Maybe we can have an artificial intelligence model that is designed to publicly callout lies, deceptions, scams, disinformation, and such. Eventually, I can see this model being used in courtrooms, police investigations, and relationships in general. Imagine walking around with a super lie detector that reads facial and body expressions, looks up facts in real time, and is never biased. Just a thought.

So it still performed the reasoning they were demonstrating, but they diked out the speech-to-text and clip-an-image-from-a-video portions of the ingest process? That seems more just streamlining for demo reliability than any major change to actual functionality.

AI still needs smoke and mirrors to sell to the public...

No thank you. I'd prefer not giving our future AI overlords an "in" to help reulate society just to gain a false sense of security. I think the AI community needs to slow down and learn to better understand how these systems can and will continue to evolve. Past evolution in AI, as far as we know at least, has been do to human intervention (ie new hardware and or new code). I fear future where AI evolution could be independent of human intervention. At that point we will have birthed Skynet and can only hope our new AI overlords are more benevolent than we are.

I must not be their target audience because I wasn't impressed with the faked demo. If I'm drawing a blue duck, the last thing I want is a droning voice telling me it's uncommon to see a blue duck and that most ducks are white or brown. I get the point is that it can understand visuals, but then couldn't they provide a more natural demo showing a real scenario in which the AI is helpful? Especially if they're going to fake it, then go all the way and show something special.
