Didn't you see the crowd Wooo-ing and clapping when Sam Altman said "Today, we're announcing Dots"?

The crowd lost their minds before Sam even told them what Dots were.

He even called them out on it when announcing 6.1 Sol "You don't even know what it is yet"

Aren’t these crowds mostly people that work at the company? So you’re really cheering for the thing you built?

(I remember that being the explanation of why people would cheer at very lame things at Apple events.)

Maybe they were cheering on The Muppets inspired AI avatars, resembling Kermit, Scooter etc.
