Am I the only one noticing the same pattern with every launch? Fable vs Astra

Long story short: this pattern feels like paid PR at the start, followed by everyone jumping on the bandwagon for X engagement and revenue.
When Fable 5 launched, X was suddenly full of people one shotting entire games with it. Random AI generated videos, screenshots, people saying they ran Fable for 24 hours and came back to a complete game.
Then when people asked for the prompt or the actual process, there was usually no real answer. Just vague stuff like “I let it run” or “I gave it some instructions”. Seriously, 24 hours?
Now Astra 6 by OpenAI has launched and I am seeing basically the exact same thing again.
Suddenly everyone is building games and apps with one prompt.
I am not saying the models are bad. I am saying I don’t trust launch week X posts as a realistic representation of what using these models is actually like.
