🚨PSA about Google’s jaw-dropping video demo of Gemini - the one with the duck:
It was not carried out in real time or in voice. The model was shown still images from video footage and human prompts narrated afterwards, per a spokesperson.

I work in marketing, we are allowed to promise things we intend to do as marketing features as legally there is no reasonable expectation that marketing assets are truthful.
The need for truth only happens during the sales process (SLAs, POCs etc)
I haven’t the faintest idea what my own country’s rules are to be fair, but i certainly hope lying about features in product showcases and advertisements isn’t legal, because that would be crazy :-(

usa. but also most countries. it has to be this way. Otherwise you get stuff like
“Drink SportzDrank - it’s refreshing”
and then someone isn’t refreshed and they start a court case…
Probably the US at the very least
