What's this about?
Mollick argues that Astra's ability to produce attractive Blender and 3D work gives it a perception edge over Fable even if the overall capability comparison is mixed. A compelling animation is easier to understand and share than an invisible improvement in planning or reliability.
What exactly is a “perception edge”?
It is an advantage in how capable a product appears, not necessarily how it scores across all tasks. A polished demo is like a sports highlight reel: memorable and real, but not the complete season statistics.
