A study (not yet peer-reviewed) done by a team of researchers from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology concludes that between 33% and 46% of workers on platforms like Amazon's Mechanical Turk had used AI models to automate work typically done by humans needed to train AI systems.

The people paid to train AI are outsourcing their work… to AI

It’s a practice that could introduce further errors into already error-prone models.

@stefan I see two solutions to this problem. Pay your workers a living wage, giving them the time and resources to produce higher quality data. Or hire a team of data scientists making 150k a year each, to build another AI model to clean your dataset for you. Except the model only has about a 73% test accuracy and was trained using data labeled by the same workers you are underpaying.

I wonder which option will draw in more investors?
