I don’t know about AI involvement but this story in general is very very old.

I thought of this as well. In fact, as a bit of fun I added a switch to a rack at our lab in a similar way with the same labels. This one though does nothing, but people did push the “turbo” button on old pc boxes despite how often those buttons weren’t connected.
My turbo button was connected to an LED but that was it
Some weren’t connected? For most PCs that had it, it was a real thing, though counterintuitive and marketing-speak, because enabling “turbo” was just normal speed and disabling would run in a slower mode for compatibility.

After the 486, there were pentiums built at shops that still used 486 cases. In my experience the button wasn’t plugged in.
I remember that as well.
