Imagine this: you prepare a presentation to showcase your great new product version that's cost a billion USD to make. You prepare your presentation for ages. The result?
You show bullshit charts where bars that represent 30% and 58% are equally high; you wheel in pictures of bicycles that have three wheels; you show zebras with five legs...
You'd be sacked for doing that. Actually, OpenAI did that during their presentation of Chat-GPT 5 a short while back.
To quote Gary Marcus:
'By rights, Altman’s reputation should by now be completely burned. This is a man who joked in September 2023 that “AGI has been achieved internally”, told us in January of this year in his blog that “We are now confident we know how to build AGI as we have traditionally understood it”. Just two days ago he hold us that as quoted above) interacting with GPT-5 we “like talking to … legitimate PhD level expert in anything”. In hindsight, that was all bullshit.And the worst part? Altman brought it all on himself. Had he not kept hinting at the moon, people might have been fine with just another incremental update.' - https://garymarcus.substack.com/p/gpt-5-overdue-overhyped-and-underwhelming
