There are versions of both these charts with more plausible numbers and bar sizes in the "evaluation" section of the announcement post:

So, maybe this is just sloppiness and not intentionally misleading. But still, not a good look when the company burning through billions of dollars in cash and promising to revolutionize all human activity can't put together a decent powerpoint.

if their AI is so good, why didn't they use it and get good results?
They probably did use it and those are the charts it produced.
This is wonderful. Like, the chart shows the models capability. Not the numbers in the chart, not the data presented, but the actual chart itself.
Maybe they did?

probably AI generated

I think the bar is quite low, but AI can absolutely generate "decent" powerpoints
But in this case, the bar was too high.
Is there an MCP or API to do that? Can it take a template and layout and produce coherent sentences in a consistent format?
just let it create plaintext files like latex
Quarto!
Yea I guess I won’t immediately prescribe malice but SHEESH. One of the most anticipated product launches in years and this kind of junk made it through to the public deck. Really pretty inexcusable.
