I looked at the site. Its just Fiverr, but without all the moderation/features that make the site usable, and with AI in the name. The majority of the listings were either obvious scams or were spam. Even those that weren't were pretty consistantly paying under $10 an hour. Beyond that, only one or two had anything to do with AI.

Edit: actually, Fiverr is more a marketplace for those hiring. This is bounties, so its closer to Craigslist - esspecially given the lack of moderation or verification.

It's probably a system for laundering money, then.
