This is not what is happening at all.
The amount of misinformation on BlueSky about AI is insane, and it keeps promising that AI is all hype that is going away soon.
A really dangerous position that cedes all AI policy and decisions about how it will be used to others.
Also Futurism is clickbait

Just randomly remembered that my middle school had two teachers (a married couple) with the last name Condon. "Middle school teacher" is absolutely the worst-case scenario for people named "Condon."

Good god, what a horrible typo: Chileans! Chileans! (broke my rule about always cutting/pasting proper nouns)
A group of 50 Chilians recently spent several hours powering a human-operated chatbot. Some questions were answered quickly but “when they didn’t know the answer, they walked around the room to see if someone else did”. [apnews.com]
A chatbot entirely powered by humans, not artificial intelligence? This Chilean community shows why
About 50 members of a community outside Chile’s capital spent Saturday trying their best to power an entirely human-operated chatbot that could answer questions and make silly pictures on command, in a message to highlight the environmental toll and water usage of artificial intelligence data center
