Look, I'm an AI scientist and I gotta come clean. It's all fake. A hoax. We've been writing everything by hand. Those chatGPT sessions? It's a person on the other end.

I'm sorry, it started off funny but then we got in too deep.

That is more or less the truth. Amazon's Mechanical Turk program employs people from the global south (often the Philippines) to pretend to be AI. "Full self-driving" is the same poo poo.

Is that how they're marketing it now? Originally it was specifically for farming out data tasks your system has to do that are easy for a human but hard for a computer (like image recognition). So your system could automatically fire off a request for something like "here's a photo of a car's number plate, give me what it is in text", as and when new number plate photos enter your system, and it'd get added to your Amazon Web Services bill.

Very clever, if dystopian.

Yeah, I think we have gotten pretty desensitized to big tech and scientific claims of a revolution just around the corner and are pretty jaded to whatever the latest hyped new thing is, but it would be a mistake to underestimate what is coming in AI and how soon. Even just stopping our progress now but continuing to increase implementation and utilization of what we already have will have seismic effects on our current paradigm.

To whatever extent that's true; the fact that bitcoin/NFT grifters were the first to start hyping it makes the whole think reek of a scam.

AFAIK that's not how they market Mechanical Turk (though that would be funny, given the name). Rather companies have been using services like Mechanical Turk to generate training data, by underpaying people to perform trivial-but-hard-to-automate tasks in the exact way they want their ML system to do it. It's a far more controlled system than using an existing 'polluted' dataset or just scraping things from the internet.
And sometimes they also pay them to perform content moderation, more on that:

That’s literally what happened with Disney and that boba fett show. The whole reason it existed is because of a dispute over somebody working on the mandalorian, and the parts with the fully cgi animated and ai voiced Luke was to prove they didn’t even need to hire the big name actors anymore. It looked and sounded awful and everybody complained, but hell, give it a decade

Are you talking about Luke at the end of the second season of The Mandalorian? That was the actual Mark Hammill and a bad use of the deaging thingie they used on DeDiro for The Irishman.

Hes talkin about Luke at the end of Boba Fett where it turns into The Mandalorian for a couple of episodes cause it turns out Boba Fett is not actually that interesting.
