'First 17 seconds expose the huge deficiency in AI creative tools' — GPT-6 Astra demo critiqued
plopesresearch · x · 2026-09-05
OpenAI officially showcased GPT-6 Astra, claiming 'Anything you can do on a computer, Astra can do for you. Fast.' A user quote-shared the demo with a pointed critique: the first 17 seconds of the video perfectly illustrate the enormous deficiency in basically all AI-based creative tools — 'still chasing that 1979 vision,' implying AI-generated content still can't escape templated, derivative creative output.
The comment captures a common critique of agent demos: impressive automation speed, but weak genuine creativity.
