Companies that rushed to replace human labor with AI are now shelling out to get human workers to fix the technology’s screwups.
As the BBC reports, there’s now something of a cottage industry for writers and coders who specialize in fixing AI’s mistakes — and those who are good at it are using the opportunity to rake in cash.
Sarah Skidd, an American product marketing manager, told the British broadcaster that she’s not concerned about being replaced by the technology because, as her recent work experiences have taught her, she’s often tasked with cleaning up its many mistakes.
Earlier this year, Skidd was approached by an agency that urgently needed someone to redo copy for a client after having an undisclosed AI chatbot do the work to save a few bucks. The writing was typical of AI, she noted, calling it “very basic” and uninteresting.
