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.
