This is so pointless and petty too. Like "hee hee our software is just like the movies". And continuing the trend of tech moguls watching bleak satire and thinking it's aspirational.

How do people watch 15 seconds of a demo like this - https://x.com/OpenAI/status/1790072174117613963

And not see how over the top it is... cmon.

If anyone thinks this demo is cool, I regret to inform you that your life is very, very sad.

"Over the top" means exaggerated and corny, almost the opposite of "cool".

I was not contradicting the parent comment, but adding to it. I know what "over the top" means, thank you.

Apologies, I misunderstood your comment then. It really sounded like you were contradicting them.

Yeah, I should have started with "indeed" and not used the impersonal "you".

I couldn’t take more than 10s of that. It’s so cringey and for some reason trying to be sexy? Like why would I want a bot to flirt with me while I’m trying to get information?

Precisely my comment. You can see the personality of the people building these products through the tech demo.
