While this might just be a bit of bad PR now, it will eventually be a nothing burger. Remember the original debut of Apple's Siri for which Apple also put out a promotional demo with greatly exaggerated functionality? People even sued Apple and they lost.
As much as I hate it, this is absolutely fine by our society's standards. https://www.theregister.com/AMP/2014/02/14/apple_prevails_in...
There's a vast difference between advertising a product, slightly shortening the sequences and, cutting out failed prompts, and completely misrepresenting the product at hand to a degree that the depiction doesn't resemble the product at all[0].
The former is considered Puffery[1] and is completely legal, and the latter is straight up lying.
