Quote from the article

One page of the company’s website compares a human nurse’s $90 per hour salary to an AI agent’s $9 an-hour running costs. Hippocratic claims its AI nurses outperform human nurses regarding bedside manner, education, and narrowly miss on satisfaction, according to a survey.

I don't know of any tele-triage nurses that get paid $90 an hour. Moreover bedside manner does not equal telephone/video demeanor.

What RN is getting $90 an hour outside of desperate COVID times travel contracts that have long since ended?

A lot of nurses out there getting $30/hr. California is a special outlier at $60/hr.

The highest of the highest Cali get $90/hour. Bar Area only as far as I know. Highest I know in Massachusetts is like 20 years ICU experience getting $80/hour.

I work cardiac critical care in Mass, making $46/hour
