He broke no policy here. He made the claim that it was real (the same as Google's public stance as evidenced by Pichai's statements at Google IO) and that he's seen the code (if you've seen enough publicly available Google talks you'd know all code is public for whoever wants to view it internally).

I'm not saying he broke any policy. People will simply misrepresent - or take advantage of - his just well-intended representation.

Just take out of context or read the following with a different job role and see why these guidelines make sense:

> we are Google ... These kind of systems need 99% precision ... I feel it was full of tiny imperfections ... Internally, the criticism is brutal ... It seems that I am "attacked" primarily by fellow googlers ... There are a dozen variations of this question already for TGIF ... the team wanted to fake a demo, they could had done that years ago ... a team at Google could fake something at this scale and have the face of the company back it at our most high-profile event of the year ... Would volkswagen be able to do what they did ... I've been told that there were cases were the human would react by saying "no, you are not a robot, you are human!" when they were told that the caller was a bot

You make a fair point.
