In Kenya, we spoke to the data labelers powering U.S. AI companies. They include someone who had to watch porn all day, annotate it, then had to flirt and sext with people over an AI chatbot. The users thought they were sexting an AI. It was actually a person.https://www.404media.co/ai-is-african-intelligence-the-workers-who-train-ai-are-fighting-back/

Jason sat down to write an article, and instinctively, accidentally, did the “it’s not just x, it’s y” AI style of writing. He stopped typing, freaked out, deleted the sentence. Your AI use is breaking our brains https://www.404media.co/your-ai-use-is-breaking-my-brain/
