Weird headline. I know they mean “exposed as another mechanical turk ‘AI’ company” but headline appears to imply simply having Indian engineers was the problem.

Edit: added explanatory link to the technical term to clarify

Their Turks were actually Indians. They were deceiving their investors!

Right that’s what I meant! The Mechanical Turk was a classic/early instance of fake automation.
