The payouts range from $1 for simple tasks like “subscribe to my human on Twitter” to $100 for more elaborate humiliation rituals, like posting a photo of yourself holding a sign reading “AN AI PAID ME TO HOLD THIS SIGN.”

Seems like a gameable system. Just whip up an ai-generated image and make yourself a cool Benjamin in a few minutes.

a hundred dollars to "embarrass myself" holding a sign? Fuck I'd do that full time for that kinda money

People literally make minimum wage doing it and they have to flip the sign around and do dances

I don't understand what makes this any different than every other gig work platform, except this has a stupid AI component.

“You look lonely, I can fix that…” the Joi from blade runner 2049 or the dating folks in that movie “her” come to mind.

Its a Gig-economy for the Gig-economy... a Giggity-conomy if you will.

To do what? What does an AI need a human for?

AI bros have this magical idea that they can take their really good AI model, hook it up to the real world in a bunch of ways, and with the right prompting system it'll make money, or do other complicated long term tasks.

There was an AI that was tasked with funding itself, so it started off with like a free tier of credits and it could send money to its creator for more credits, it would start up like every 30 seconds or something and try to use the tasks connected to it to generate money somehow. It posted a bunch of stuff on Twitter, which garnered it quite a few donations. It did some other stuff to actually earn money. Ultimately it could only fund itself for like a month, and "died".

They love the idea of AGI, and of those human intelligence AI's in movies that can do a bunch of cool stuff without it's creator.

Human user tells "ai agent" to do a task, that posts the task on this site, the task is done by a different human (for less money than they would have been payed had they been doing this as their job and "ai" didn't exist), the "agent" informs the original human the task is done. Thus making "agents" seem real and actually able to complete real and useful tasks, allowing ai companies to continue to peddle their bullshit and driving wages down

Well, it's about time that it's middle management they're replacing, amiritefolx?

Cappy introducing yet another middleman for the sake of innovation.

Gig economy but somehow more alienated.

But AI don't eat burritos so what am I DoorDashing them? RAM?

[-] Bolshechick@hexbear.net 10 points 8 hours ago

You're doordashing a burrito to the dingus who asked chatgpt to get them a burrito (rather than just use door dash themselves [This is the future ai pushers want])
