Comment on AI company files for bankruptcy after being exposed as 700 Indian engineers - Dexerto
CleoTheWizard@lemmy.world 2 days agoFrom an engineering perspective they didn’t want to do this since it’s not just about AI tasks. If you go watch videos of it they have camera arrays and special shelf layouts and all sorts of stuff.
Not to mention the engineers probably wanted to be able to test it privately and without disrupting an actual store and community.
So it’s what I would’ve done as well frankly

What are you talking about?
It was never AI. It was always cheap remote people working in foreign countries. But you would take that, and sell it as AI like they did?

Looked it up and according to their claims (which we don’t have much other info on) they said that 70% needed manual review. And I’m saying AI here but really that’s the buzzword, there was a whole engineered system behind this that was automated to some degree. So yeah it wasn’t AI but it also wasn’t just people either.
