Redditor Rails Against "Early Access" AI Hype and Cherry-Picked Astra Demos
kyazici · reddit · 2026-09-04
A Reddit user criticizes OpenAI's promotion of GPT-6 Astra: access limited to a select few, with curated "mind-blowing" videos and benchmarks manufacturing artificial hype. The poster asks why, if OpenAI is confident Astra is a major leap, it won't just release the model publicly so real-world limits and failure modes can be tested — and finds wide agreement that fake-scarcity marketing erodes industry trust.
