That's not quite fair. The sample output they're touting is really nothing other than false text (when it's coherent), almost all of which is in the style of news.

So for the Ford analogy to be apt, Ford would have to have designed a car nobody has ever seen, and released a video which is basically just hundreds of hours of the car running people over.

I mean, a car has lots of well understood non-running-people-over capabilities. But have they demonstrated that this model is useful for anything other than generating fake news-sounding spam text?
