They literally hired people in India (Indians) to review camera footage to make their walk out tech work and to improve the AI to eventually eliminate their own job.
I recently lost out on some work (big retouching job) due to AI, when the client came back to me to fix the huge mess, it turned out the job had just been farmed out to India by the ‘AI’ company. They weren’t even using a recent Photoshop version so were actually using less ‘AI’ than any pro retoucher would.
And how does being Indian specifically factor into this? 🤔
They were, factually, Indian. It says something about the exploitation of poorer labor to impress some San Franciscans with fraudulent tech
Whom are you referring to? A specific group/project?

This and other events are the source of the tech joke that AI stands for “Actually Indians”

That’s just who they hired dude, don’t make it weird.
It was an honest misunderstanding and I asked for clarification before making any assumptions. So not that weird. :)
