The headline as stated is categorically false, buuuut... I think it's pretty salient that a company called "Builder.ai" only had 15 engineers working on actual ai and actually mostly functioned as an outsourcing intermediary for 500-1000 engineers (ie, the builders). When it comes to these viral misunderstandings, you kind of reap what you sow.
