I'm curious when it crossed the line into "fraud" here. Since almost every "AI" application has tons of human fallback. Waymo has human drivers that can teleoperate the vehicle when it gets stuck. The Amazon Go stores were really powered by teams in India [0]. And companies have been pitching "powered by AI" for a decade.

Perhaps this came up because investors finally got a peak at margins and saw there was a giant off shore line item. Otherwise it seems like an "automation rate" is a really ambiguous number for investors to track.

Also this was a funny line
