It was so obvious to me that that was heavily scripted at best and and voice overlaid at worst. No surprise here, it’s so pathetic when they have to lie instead of just letting the product speak for itself

It’s even worse than simply “not real time” edited for latency, google admits that they recorded the videos and then took still frames from said video and gave that to Gemini with a text prompt question. The whole fucking thing is disingenuous af

Google is a joke and has been for a long time now

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)

What country is that the case in?

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...

Google is such a joke.

Really? No voice? The voice was the most realistic part of the video.

Let me try. Before that I don't believe you
