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
I remember that as well.
