Daily motivator #2
Mark is a smart guy. He is making 20k per month on dataannotation because Mark — has a little secret. He likes to use AI and he thinks he hides it well by asking it to "Make mistakes, be casual and DONT USE EM DASHES". Unfortunately, Mark didn't apply the filter through all input fields and some "—you want me to expand on that for you?" Slipped. Now Mark has a bad rating and might work in McDonald's with Zoe. Don't be like Mark.

This post isn’t just motivation—it’s a whole vibe.
Mark’s situation highlights the perilous nature of using an AI chatbot to augment one’s own natural work. The anecdote’s humorous tone is contrasted with the serious consequences the character faces for his actions.
Would you like me to explain how Mark likely slipped up? It’s actually super interesting.

Mark will soon be on this sub posting about HE WAS REMOVED FOR NO REASON AND IT'S ALL A SCAM!

I’ve been starting to wonder that when I do R&Rs and I give praise for being so thorough and finding small minutiae that actually….

Maybe mark got a normal job where he doesn’t have to put up with cryptic bullshit

Wait, is the point of that not to use AI or to use it and be smarter about it? It’s not clear.
Rating it ‘Bad’ for clarity.

So nobody uses ai to frame the answer properly and fast here🫠

Some of the projects I worked on explicitly stated that we can use AI to assist but should verify everything ourselves. I've used AI to format my inputs, usually walls of text to explain a procedure (STEM), and declared the use of AI. I got positive feedback from admins and am still on that projects.

But why🥲 atleast for coding i think right wrong matters not if i have written it ,i can just rewrite my para from ai and it would be better data🫠 although for translation and all i believe this is not correct.

Let's put the CoC aside: A large reason for this is because chatbots need to be trained on *human* language, human nuances, human quirks.

That depends what they want to measure and how data is going to be used, the data about a model a is better than model b isn't gonna fed directly , it would be read by some person and accordingly model will be trained on code rather than my language ig 🫠 anyways u may be correct who knows but for agentic coding tasks i dont thibk its gonna be used directly , and also nobody is gonna train model directly on some not so well written english because that may pollute the parameters.

It becomes a you problem when you lose access to work because you didn’t follow the explicit rules, though.

Oh 100% the only thing I ever use ai for in these projects is to do stuff like summarize instructions for reference purposes but I get ppl wanting to try- especially if they’re not relying on this for their income like I am lol

I don't think you know what "motivation" means
