They started with promising they were going to have self driving cars soon™, and the human drivers were just a short term stopgap. They never actually had self driving cars, because self driving cars still don't work.
Most of those techbro startups before "AI" had actually pretty low costs of running whatever their core service was. Mostly just running a website to do some evil kind of labor arbitrage. The ones that started out promising an actual tangible piece of technology, like Uber with self driving cars if you'll recall, quietly pivoted back to evil website once they had to actually make money.
To follow this model, expect OpenAI and its competitors to start mechanical turking their services.
