Soon data entry jobs will become almost fully automated and many people will be left jobless. After even data annotations might as well become automated to a point and those people will lose their jobs as well.

These jobs are the actual valuable work that is being done around AI. There's a huge problem of poisoned and dirty data sets, evidenced by chatbot Nazi diatribes and otherwise garbage outputs.
That being said, these sweatshop apps are fractionally deriving value from nothing but facilitating communication and branding, things that are very cheap to implement. As more players enter the market, that paradigm will either get worse or better for the workers that are trying to live their lives.
Corporations will divorce workers and the communities they live in from the value of their labors.
I did this for awhile and a huge problem was that people were training the models using content generated by ChatGPT. Trash goes in, trash comes out. That's the quality you get when you pay people peanuts I guess.
You can't mine gold from shit can you
who could have guessed this was going to happen? literally every punk on the web.
it does hurt to hear that so many are slaving away to build better llms, a potential domino effect. it seems to me that these people are unintentionally selling themselves short. their workforce and availability ensures they can be bought so cheaply.
Data colonialism 🙄
New, bullshit words, made up every day.
At last we see the Turk behind the iron.
