So in other words, AI is just cheap exploited labor from impoverished people, with extra pollution steps.
Amazon Turk 2.0
A company named turing has a job posting open for 1 month duration. They want you to train their AI automating your job. Should have given that traitor a perm contract at least.
Exploited workers are the secret ingredient to everything under capitalism.
There are the little hands, and there are also experts paid by AI companies to train AI to simulate themselves. This is how you get the good looking answers on complex coding questions for example. I received some emails asking me to teach my job to an AI...
Also it's not stopping to text, there are now also learning with videos of workers asked to perform manual tasks with the goal to replace them with manual robots in the future. So you can imagine the mind numbing job of reviewing thousands of question and answers, but replace it with doing thousands of boring manual tasks in front of cameras for a shitty pay.
It was never a secret: it’s still the Mechanical Turk, a historical model that, for example, the Amazon company of the same name is based on—and such services are part of its business.
Outliar, Data annotation, etc are all doing that. Ik people doing that.
