    I mean there have been numerous occasions where companies touting “AI” have actually just been using Indian labor. It’s so common infact that “Actually Indians” is an honest to god meme.

      Ye but I don’t think the meme applies here? This particular lie is statistical malpractice, not “someone else wrote the bar for it”.

        I don’t cut people a lot of slack on that sort of remark because more often that not it’s some “huehuehue” (read phonetically) racism

        the fact that the esteemed poster has remained unengaged on my follow-up post (despite the first reply being pretty fast) kinda smells too
