Not long ago companies claiming “100% AI-powered” services were secretly relying on humans because the tech wasn’t good enough.

Now, the opposite is true - AI has gotten so good, people are trying to pass AI work off as “100% human-powered.”

To me this remarkable inversion in a short period of time demonstrates how powerful these models can be; even if AI is overhyped and the financing/economics seem like a stack of cards, this example is driving home the point to me of just how far these models have come.

I'd put it differently. Yes AI is better than it used to be but it's still the lazy choice; human-powered is better but more expensive.
