Google, in the video's description, acknowledged that the presentation was not entirely genuine, as it had accelerated response times for the demonstration. Subsequently, in a blog post released concurrently with the video, Google disclosed the actual process behind its creation.

Contrary to the apparent spontaneity of the AI's responses to voice and video prompts, it was disclosed that the AI was, in reality, prompted using static image frames from the footage and text-based prompts. Google confirmed this revelation to the BBC, clarifying that the video was generated by presenting the AI with questions through text prompts and static images.

A Google spokesperson stated, "Our Hands on with Gemini demo video shows real prompts and outputs from Gemini. We made it to showcase the range of Gemini’s capabilities and to inspire developers."

In specific instances within the video, such as identifying materials of objects and tracking a hidden ball in a cups and balls magic routine, the AI's seemingly impressive responses were based on still images rather than live interactions. Google explained that the AI was provided with static images representing the challenges presented in the video, allowing it to showcase Gemini's capabilities across various scenarios.

This clarification from Google emphasizes the staged nature of the video, intended primarily as a demonstration to highlight the potential of Gemini's capabilities rather than a genuine portrayal of real-time AI responses to dynamic stimuli.
