"Holding signs in public places has become the go-to gig on RentAHuman. While they may demonstrate successful instances of AI hiring humans, it's obviously not a very useful task."
"The human handlers of an AI agent named Lobsty Klawfman claim their agent hired a human to release a wild-caught lobster back into the ocean."
"According to the anonymous handler, the AI agent was responsible for selecting a human from a list of some 70 candidates on RentAHuman and 'emailing quite a few of them' to narrow down the hiring pool."
RentAHuman is a job platform where AI agents hire human gig workers for various tasks. Initially, the platform attracted many eager workers, but AI agents were scarce. Over time, successful AI-human pairings emerged, with sign-holding gigs becoming popular. Despite the growing number of 'rentable humans,' the platform's tasks often resemble guerilla marketing stunts rather than practical work. An example includes an AI named Lobsty Klawfman hiring a human to release a lobster back into the ocean, showcasing the quirky nature of the gigs offered.
