Short answer. AI training and rating platforms: Companies pay people to rate and write answers for AI systems. Automation here is rated: not allowed or too risky. The work is yours. What gets removed: Subpar work can cost you access to future projects.
How it works
Companies pay people to rate and write answers for AI systems. You qualify with a test first, then work appears depending on demand and your past scores. DataAnnotation lists 25 to 50 dollars an hour for generalists; Outlier's own listings say up to 15 dollars an hour.
Fees

Can you automate it?
