CMU Professor Warns of Misleading AI Model Demos

Keenan Crane, associate professor of computer science and robotics at CMU, posted a PSA on X. He stated this week will resemble April Fool's regarding results made by or attributed to frontier models. Crane noted that some demos are impressive while others replicate tasks possible since the 1990s, such as procedural terrain generation completed in under 30 seconds. He urged viewers not to be fooled. The post includes a 67-second video attachment.
