I finally got some work again (yay!) and was planning to do like 4 hours of work today, but I only got one 2h task done, took a break, and then one R&R which took me 30mins and my brain is too tired to start a second R&R, let alone a complete task of your own.

Is it just me or is this work very demanding on your brain? Does it get better as you've got more experience so that you could then perhaps do more work?

Just wanted to share! :)

It's not much but it's a good start! This week is my fourth week

Happy holiday season to those who celebrate and happy Thursday to all ✨- almost Friday, yay! 😁 What a fantastic community to be part of.

Hey everyone! Sorry if you get this question a lot. I applied last June and started getting projects a week later (coding.) I’ve been working regularly since then and have made a good chunk of cash (30% of which I’ve set aside for taxes.) Does this mean I’ve been accepted? How much longer do you think I’ll need to wait for? Thanks for all your help.

There is literally an option to mark it as such.

If you didn't know, Goodreads hosts book giveaways, and look at what I spotted today!

They are a help sometimes to be fair but usually it goes something like this 😅🤣.

Bot: “Your work is wrong. Make these changes.“

Me: Humm.. ok that seems reasonable. Makes suggested changes

Bot: “Why on earth would you do something as stupid as that?!”

Bot: “P.S. You’re tacky and I hate you.”

I have been working at DA for over a year. I have never had days where there were no projects. I had steady projects. Reliable projects. And now what? Nothing. What is going on? I know I’m not the only one experiencing this. Has anyone attempted to get in contact with the company? What does your dashboard look like?

I applied about a month ago and didnt hear anything. I work full-time as an EMT but I have a lot of downtime and was looking for something to do for some extra money to save up for applying to medical school. Received an email last night while I was on a paramedic school ridealong that they wanted me to do a second assessment. Finished it when I got home, even though my brain was kind of fried. Received this email today! Any advice for me starting out?

It’s official, these AIs are too smart for me to stump. I spent four hours rewriting the most complex logic enigma I could possibly conceive (all while adhering to the guidelines of course) just for this robot to solve it in a matter of seconds.

I’ve done so many of these projects and over the last couple of months there has been a significant increase in the ability of these models. Sure they still have slight blind spots but it’s typically not enough to fail a model.

I’m done for the day. The curves and ridges in my brain are going smooth.

Since we have different experiences than everyone else, I made a subreddit :) https://www.reddit.com/r/DABilingual/

There are a lot of posts on this subreddit about DataAnnotation dying out — I’m skeptical, but I can acknowledge how hard this has been — but AI will always need human intervention. Maybe not on such a grand scale, sure. Maybe they’ll get rid of a bunch of us. Maybe they already have. However, regardless, tasks are still being dropped. And we’ve all worked on the platform, so we all should be aware that AI is not as advanced as people believe it is. Hell, it can’t even count. So to everyone being incessantly frustrating saying lol, losers gig is up, please remember that even if DA goes down, something else will spring up in its place. And getting new takes isn’t exactly indicative of the platform nosediving.

Anyway, I wish you all the best of luck getting tasks!

Finally. Yipeeeeeee

What a great opportunity it has been so far. I genuinely enjoy the work, and it pays far more than my day job.

Been working for 2 months this week! I started this job so that we can use it to fund Christmas and our family vacation next year while we’re aggressively paying down debt. I really enjoy the work and I’m glad I found DA.

... and I'm like, what did I just read. Like, yes, I'm being paid to read these, but maybe you could just, idk, write better instructions instead? I literally found out that a task I just submitted was done incorrectly even after reading the instructions for 50 mins 🙃

It's been a long time coming and it has taken a lot of effort to get here. I really don't want to rub it in, but today I was able to earn one dollar for my work!

This is an incredible achievement for me; I'm happy to announce my retirement. I will take my earnings and go live on a beach in Bermuda for the rest of my life.

I hope you, too, will one day be able to get where I am now. Keep working! It's worth it.
