A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

I just need to rant somewhere. I've been looking for work for a long time, and so LinkedIn is part of the sites I regularly check for jobs.

Today I had a message from some asshat saying they've launched an AI marketplace and behold, they need my help to improve it! I could be making thousands a week detecting fringe cases that AI isn't yet good at solving! And I could be making friends with like minded assholes I mean creative experts helping AI!

Doesn't it sound like a dream???

The worst part is that I don't think it was a scam. For sure one wouldn't be making thousands per week, I'm sure that's misleading, but the rest of the platform sounded believable enough. Which means there's going to be plenty of "experts" flocking to it.

I get tons of ads for these things, or days annotation.

That “job” is just data annotation and almost definitely does not pay what they say.

I wish you the best with your job search. It sucks out there.

I've worked for those. The hourly rate is real but you barely get any hours and you have to fight like dogs with other contractos to click fast enough when work becomes available.

Even if it paid what it says. Even if it paid double. Nope. It's disgusting. I refuse to voluntarily hone this monster

Also thanks for your kind wishes
