Yeah, Dinah, I would hate for anyone anywhere to get pulled under false pretenses into working for one of those unethical data labeling companies 😞

I have seen several data-labelling jobs promoted on LinkedIn. Some of these are even targeted for lawyers and "linguistic experts". Feels slightly dystopian. Imagine spending so many years on an degree only to end up training an AI model how to do your work for you

Agreed, Tobias. To some extent, that is what everyone who uses AI on their job is doing. We are freely giving the AI platforms information about how we do our work and how we reason about it.
