     The thing to remember about Google is that it's primarily an advertising company, so of course any #AI demos are going to be a sort of advertising and not necessarily a completely honest depiction of the real capability of the product. Most advertising is to some extent embellishment.
     
     And of course the whole history of AI, even before Google, is littered with exaggerated claims and inflated expectations and highly choreographed demos.
