#2This is in fact a precise definition of AGI, by the way. It’s the only true test. If your AI can make money via mturk, you’re on the right path.
Superintelligence is when you can make all the money because all the problems are solvable. Right now only some are.

#3Seeds of their own destruction?
At what point do Amazon just switch off Mech Turk and leave it to AI?
I guess it's best to make hay in the interim

#4This is going to cause problems as many Mechanical Turk tasks are being used to train AI models...

#5Are the MT's paid by the hour, or by completed tasks? The latter would obviously incentivize people to use AI. But then again, so would the former, if it means that they can just let some script/program do the work, while they're going on with their day.

#6Well, there is a very simple solution to that problem:
Pay people extra money for the privilege of having them fulfill the tasks the way you want them to.

I played with it a long time ago (doing actual work, mainly to understand the platform better, especially from a worker perspective) and back then it was all or almost all paid by task.

I think this is wonderful. It's a human-bootstrapped AI centipede with predictable, inevitable results.

And even fine-tuning using AI causes the models to quickly degrade I've seen here previously. Perhaps we are already at peak of these LLMs now and the next gen won't come because all training data will be poisened with AI generate crap.
That would be kinda funny to me tbh
