Yet another comment about AI

I have now written multiple posts about AI (AI and its ambitions, Another comment about AI), and unsurprisingly, people have changed their views about it. History has shown us overzealous beliefs about technology replacing labour at a rapid pace will face pushback, especially when they want to do it on the cheap.

There are now a lot of job openings for humans, for the specific purpose of improving the performance of AI/ LLM models. I obtain information from one firm on such jobs, but the financial incentivization structure made me cackle. The financial incentives for the tasks I was receiving was based on a lottery draw, i.e. I complete x number of hours worth of AI/ LLM correction tasks, then there is a 0-100% chance of being paid a fair amount for the work. So, the firm is desperate for human corrections, without the full financial compensation for the work, all the while in the aim of replacing the very humans fixing machine generated mistakes. They shouldn't be surprised that I haven't involved myself in their advertised jobs; maybe they just didn't quite get it (like the LLMs).
