Just because it was a failure doesn't make it a con.
On its own a failure is not a con. The con is to publicly pretend that the failure is not there.
And Amazon is clearly doing the later - read the quote from the spokesperson in the article, it boils down to "The system is automated! «Chrust us lol». The human labour there is just, for, uh... improvements!" Yeah, sure, and the 1770 machine is totally automated too, the chess player there is just the maintenance worker /s
No, what makes it a con is that it was purported to be automated, but the automation was a failure and had to be done by humans almost 3/4 of the time.
No, that makes it a failure.
