You might as well be comparing your experience driving a BMW or Cadillac with SuperCruise. Your experience on the old tech stack is irrelevant.

It's well documented that FSD is a architectural rewrite of the code.
Pre-FSD the input to NN were individual still pictures taken by the cameras.
New architecture feeds NN with video feed from all cameras.
New architecture is possible thanks to new FSD chip that is 20x better that was Tesla used before.
I don't see what definition of NN would consider them the same system.
On YouTube you can find talks by Karpathy where he goes into detail about this stuff.
It's cruise control. If you couldn't fry an egg without burning it, forgive me for being a little skeptical when you claim that you can make award-winning souffles after having attended some cooking classes.
There is a history of overpromising that will be still leave me somewhat skeptical until I see it. But it does sound like a move in the right direction.
The protestations to the contrary here reek of defensive fanboy/apologist behavior.
It's clearly order of magnitude more advanced and capable than pre-FSD AutoPilot.
Calling anyone who disagrees with you a "fanboy/apologist" does the opposite of strengthening your argument.

But OP isn't--he's comparing the current live Tesla features with paywall'd / betawall'd features on the same car, from the same manufacturer. I cannot think of a more relevant comparison! I think it's completely reasonable to doubt Tesla's (and Elon's) claims in this realm, when the existing, public examples of this technology fall far, far short of the kind of confidence we'd want to have in these systems.

I 100% disagree. If Tesla can't even get a basic function like cruise control to work well enough that drivers are confident in it, why would I trust that they can get self drving to work well? Especially following things like the Summon beta, or similar fiascos?
I still get twitchy when my M3 comes up on an off ramp it's not supposed to take on autosteer--I've had the same behavior as OP (sudden unexpected speed decrease) happen far too many times for me to have confidence in that system. In turn, I have even less faith in the more complicated systems, like autosteer or FSD.
