Is it even AI?

Yes, unless you’re one of those people who considers anything less than human-level AI to not count.

What if it is not artificial and only human level ai in a sense that it's run by mechanical Turks which answer the prompts ?

Sounds a bit like a Chinese room: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_room

> Suppose that artificial intelligence research has succeeded in constructing a computer that behaves as if it understands Chinese. It takes Chinese characters as input and, by following the instructions of a computer program, produces other Chinese characters, which it presents as output. Suppose, says Searle, that this computer performs its task so convincingly that it comfortably passes the Turing test: it convinces a human Chinese speaker that the program is itself a live Chinese speaker.

> Searle then supposes that he is in a closed room and has a book with an English version of the computer program, along with sufficient papers, pencils, erasers, and filing cabinets. Searle could receive Chinese characters through a slot in the door, process them according to the program's instructions, and produce Chinese characters as output. If the computer had passed the Turing test this way, it follows, says Searle, that he would do so as well, simply by running the program manually.

It is most definitely not mechanical Turks. I played with it for a while.

Well, it nearly passes the Turing test in my subjective evaluations, so make of that what you will.
