What exactly are you asking for? Just some commiserative platitudes? I don't think anyone is under the false impression that these are awesome jobs, but the fact is, they are jobs. The people doing them are getting paid to do them. Why would data labellers be more deserving of sympathy than any other type of office worker?
Setting that aside, maybe this type of job in particular is traumatizing. And? What do you want done about it?
This makes no sense. AI sex bots don’t need humans texting and role playing.
I don’t think whoever wrote this article understands what AI is.
Note the fist job of describing what was in the video seems like somebody building a AI dataset.
It's very much an ensemble method. That's why people pay for it over just downloading an abliterated model from hf with system prompt hacking. Go and try it, the SOTA of role-playing models still have a lot to be desired
This seems unlikely to me, given it'd increase costs and the response times would make it obvious.
The messages presented in the original source appear to be people expecting to be talking to a real person, likely on a dating app. The relation to AI is only speculative, and mostly in the direction of "my messages may be used to train a chatbot to replace my job of deceiving people" - which is plausible.

I'd assume convenience, fine-tuning, and using a larger model than it's feasible for most people to run locally.
I agree it seems like it's only this one man that's making the claims though.
I looked for other people reporting the thing online but I couldn't find it it all tracks back to this one guy that Jason interviewed
