No, that was never remotely a thing. Some people read a headline and got confused.

For one thing the AI responses would be way more accurate if that were the case

Who do you think labels the training data?

I thought AI turned out to be just global south tech workers propping up a glorified chat bot… The media thought this would matter then they realized that CEO’s didn’t care and it was full steam ahead for AI regardless.

before ChatGPT became a buzzword this was true of an awful lot of AI-branded “technologies,” and it can be expected to still be true for a bunch of poo poo going forward

the LLMs just don’t have the same scale of backend human guidance which is required for a lot of grift “self-navigating” demos and poo poo due to how they’re built and how they operate

The previous wave of AI hype had a lot of realtime contract labor fixing things in the background. This current one is a predictive keyboard with tons of juice. I'm sure someone will combine the two grifts either to prolong this wave or start a new one (after another blockchain-based thing takes a turn).

Unclear if you're talking about the OG Mechanical Turk or Jeff's Mechanical Turk, but this is exactly the sort of thing that they do on the latter platform.

sorry but AI bullshit isn't going away, we're just going to be expected to clean up after its mess and adapt our behavior to it.

instead of doing something right the first time, you'll be spending your days correcting the mistakes the ML constantly and consistently makes. "no the customer does not a plate of literal trash, they want the menu item garbage plate"

then it will be your fault if the LLM writing your performance review fucks up, its your fault that you get negative marks for "doing non-job tasks (naval construction) instead of job task (making sandwiches)" because you wrote "i made 50 subs today"

this. it's a plausible deniability machine, so managers can fire people they dislike and point to a magic box and say the ai told us to do it sorry i don't make the rules

The Ugly Truth Behind “We Buy Ugly Houses”

https://www.propublica.org/article/ugly-truth-behind-we-buy-ugly-houses

quote:

In an interview, a former employee of the ad agency hired by HomeVestors recalled discussions about how to serve online ads to people in the vicinity of nursing homes and rehabilitation hospitals. The goal was to catch families who needed to sell assets so Medicaid would pay their nursing home costs. The employee, who asked not to be named because they still work in the industry, also recalled the agency’s owner bragging about the ability of its digital advertising to find an elderly person who had broken a hip. That injury, the employee reported the owner saying, is effectively a 60-day countdown to death — and, possibly, a deal.

“If we can get in front of people at that point, that was like a definite way to go,” the former employee said. “Yeah, that was bad. My stomach hurts thinking about that.”

quote:

Up to half of a franchise’s prospects must be generated by its own legwork, what HomeVestors refers to as “dig leads.” The company’s training manual teaches franchisees to build relationships with those who interact with people in difficult situations: nursing home administrators, probate officers, divorce lawyers. It also instructs them to comb neighborhoods for clues of distress — water shutoff notices, police tape, boarded-up windows, burn scars — and pounce on signs of desperation. If a family’s belongings are on the curb, for example, the directive is clear: “Quickly pursue the property where the trash pile indicates eviction.”

quote:

“That cat piss smell, you know what that smell is?” he said with a chuckle. “That’s money.”

No surprise that the we buy ugly houses business model is ghoulish and predatory, but there are some interesting details in this investigation.
