#2"It will also be interesting if there is a legal claim for the gig workers at these companies to make that their labor helped “create the value” at the companies that replace them."
Well, I would certainly hope any employee help create value for the companies they work for... even if they get laid off eventually.

#3Unclear how this is new, even Google, Amazon, etc. have either been doing this internally, offering it as a service, been susceptible to man-in-the-middle exploits to mining real world data for training sets, released data, etc.

#4The interesting question is what would you call these humans who are serving as your training set. Do you call them "Machine Therapists" (trying to coax the AI to proper behavior)? "AI Educators" (providing the material that is used to teach the AI)? "Data Scientists" (they are curating data and handing it off to the machine)?

Hopefully they call them "people who gave their informed consent to use their data in this specific AI project".

#6Microsoft, perhaps inadvertently, did that. Tay's stream of consciousness can now be used as a training set for an abusive content monitoring AI.

You could crawl 4chan and get a bigger dataset of abusive content. But that cold lead to terminators showing up on my lawn.

#9I plan to do just that, but my end goal is to provide a free service that has tons of value for my users.

#10Would have like to hear at least one concrete exemple of startup actually doing that.
Seems a bit theoretical at the moment, as big companies doesn't need to do that thanks to existing datasets, and I've never heard any startups using dozens (hundreds?) of contractors for this kind of job.
