Boring fraud VS Wild AI hype

- Proven: Builder.ai collapsed after fabricating revenue.

- Unsubstantiated: The claim that Indian coders disguised as AI is mostly hearsay, not backed by documents or insiders [1].

- Marketing vs reality: They marketed features as AI-assisted, not AI-generated code. Two completely different things.

- Bottom line: The real scandal is financial fraud, not a fake‑AI front.

Yash Mittal, ex-Associate Director of Product @ Builder.ai

He describes a sophisticated AI-automated development pipeline, including:

- Requirement gathering via conversational AI

- Auto-generated features, user stories and test cases

- Graph neural nets building prototypes

- AI-based design and code generation

- Quality checks were handled by humans, not deception.

- Human developers never pretended to be AI.
