AI company files for bankruptcy after being exposed as 700 Indian engineers
An ambitious company that claimed to make apps using AI has been exposed as hundreds of human workers based in India.
The AI industry is a joke. They pulled the mask off this company, Scooby-Doo style, and 700 overworked dudes ran out of the costume. Absolute clown show.
Didn’t amazon pull the same stunt with their “fully automated shopping experience“ within their stores?
That was to “train” it, they didn’t have it fully setup, so humans were verifying orders, and it was getting more and more automated.
Like it’s gotta be coded, programmed and setup by humans anyways, so they just tried a different method. You either pay people to test it by hand, or they start letting people use it and continue to set it up that way while working behind the scenes.
Weird way of stealing labor from 700 people.
I mean, I could argue that it would likely be trivial for an employee to just forward all of their incoming chats straight to their ChatGPT. That would be an easy way to scam the scammers and passively rake in income.
Having worked alongside multiple Infosys "consultants" I can confirm the intelligence was definitely artificial in this company
So, it was revealed to be the only type of intelligence.
Actually Indian
So it was the best ai company?
This was not on my 2025 Bingo sheet
Was this the one that also massively overstated its profits?
I think this is a perfect strategy - you can sell code, and if any of it contains issues/bugs/gaping security holes you can just blame your customer for not checking the AI output
