Welcome to TechFlash—today’s quick one-minute briefing. Imagine thinking you’re chatting with an advanced AI assistant, only to discover it’s a human being on the other end. That’s exactly what happened when an investigative report uncovered 700 engineers in India posing as AI.

According to insiders, “clients were none the wiser,” believing every response came from cutting-edge machine learning. These engineers managed multiple chat sessions day and night, delivering “instantaneous” replies that mimicked algorithmic precision. One project lead admitted, “It was like talking to a machine, but it wasn’t.”

Companies paid premium rates for AI services, but instead they were funding a massive human echo chamber. The firm’s public pitch boasted about “unparalleled AI accuracy,” while quietly relying on manual intelligence.

This case raises questions about transparency in AI services and the ethics of automation claims. As the line between human and machine blurs, how will we know what—or who—is really behind the screen? That’s TechFlash—stay curious and stay informed.
