I have farmed out work to Turks and tried to "go native" as a Turk and found I couldn't find HITs I could bear to do. It used to be there were a lot of HITs that involved OCRing receipts but these were not receipts that were straightforward to OCR, they were receipts that failed the happy pass and that I thought there was no way I could transcribe them accurately in a reasonable amount of time considering what it pai…

I am sure we can create an AI solution to fix this. We just need to label this AI-labeled input data of labels for other data. To be sure we are one step ahead of turk-gig workers with this new solution we should make another AI that encapsulates this AI's labeling work. Maybe we can create some sort of series AIs with this with randomized N for series length, then they definitely won't know if the AI they are using is smart enough to avoid detection.

We could just as well ask, why are you false flagging as someone who doesn't understand that it's making a point? That's what sarcasm does.

An off topic and therefore unwelcome point, to be sure. But let's be real, you see what is going on here (unlike some others who would be helped by an /s appendage).
