Beyond The Hype: The Messy Reality Of Training AI
"Scour LinkedIn jobs and you're sure to come across half a dozen listings like the following: "Content Reviewer: Review AI content for clarity. Set your own hours." There are variations of these roles, but the deluge on job boards means one thing: training AI models is a real business. One World Economic Forum survey shows the fastest-growing skill in the marketplace is "AI and big data.""
"Once I apply for a role I think I'm a good fit for, I'm usually given a link for an interview...with an AI recruiter! It's the strangest thing, talking to the camera without a person on the other end. The interview questions vary in quality. Some ask great ones, while others are overly technical for the job, in my opinion."
Many short-term positions exist in data annotation and AI data training, with job boards listing roles like content reviewer offering flexible hours. The labor market shows growing demand for AI and big data skills. Flexible scheduling and weekly prompt pay are common, and some agencies offer bonuses. Pay varies widely; subject-matter expert roles pay better than generalist $15/hour gigs. Hiring processes often include automated video interviews conducted by AI, followed by email acceptances. Onboarding typically provides Slack access, timers, systems, onboarding documents, and quizzes; passing onboarding grants access to paid annotation tasks.
