Am I the only one sick of the "early access" AI hype and cherry-picked demos?

A Reddit user expresses frustration with the "early access" AI hype, specifically regarding OpenAI's Astra model. They criticize the PR strategy of providing access to a select few for "mind-blowing" videos and benchmarks, calling it "artificial hype" and "fake scarcity marketing." The user questions the realism and reliability of these "curated demos" and "carefully selected benchmarks," suggesting that if OpenAI is confident in Astra, they should release it publicly for real-world testing rather than hiding behind a "coming soon" label.
