Nothing says »AI job boom« quite like humans earning pennies to draw boxes around objects so a trillion dollar industry can call the result automation. The magic of AI apparently still requires an invisible army doing digital piecework: until the machine gets good enough to automate the people who trained it.
The AI was sold to MI6 and had perfect accuracy. Turned out the guy who sold it sent a fix team every time it was wrong and MI6 made a “mistake” because of bad Intel, so the team could clean up the scene and make it look like the AI was right all along.
