Live demos being hard isn't an excuse for cheating.

Despite the Reddit post's title, I don't think there's any reason to believe the AI was a recording or otherwise cheated. (Why would they record two slightly different voice lines for adding the pear?) It just really thought he'd combined the base ingredients.

That's even worse because it would mean that it wasn't the scripted recording that failed, it means the AI itself sucks and can't tell that the bowl is empty and nothing was combined. Either this was the failure of a recorded demo that was faked to hide how bad the AI is, or it accurately demonstrated that the AI itself is a failure. Either way it's not a good look.

It seems extremely likely that they took the context awareness out of the actual demo and had the AI respond to pre defined states and then even that failed.

The AI analyzing the situation is wayyy out of scope here

So MetaAI is basically the dumb cousin of Siri? I didn‘t expect to ever write that.

this isn't cheating. the models are unpredictable. This product is going out the door this month, there is no reason to cheat.

I see a problem.

"unpredictable" and "doesn't work" are different things. As a user, I know it's not deterministic and I can live with "unpredictable" results as long as it still makes sense, but I won't buy something that works 50% of the time.
