I watched this video, impressed, and thought: what if it’s fake. But then dismissed the thought because it would come out and the damage wouldn’t be worth it. I was wrong.

The worst part is that there won't be any damage. They'll release a blog post with PR apologies, but the publicity they got from this stunt will push up their brand in mainstream AI conversations regardless.
"There's no such thing as bad publicity."
There’s no such thing as bad publicity only applies to people and companies that know how to spin it.
Reading the comments of all these disillusioned developers, it’s already damaged them because now smart people will be extra dubious when Google starts making claims.
They just made it harder for themselves to convince developers to even try their APIs, let alone bet on them.
This was stupid.
