A mechanical turk by another name?
Mechanical Turk is a service from Amazon that does just that Amazon Mechanical Turk https://www.mturk.com/
Its also a term used to describe a human assisting a machine, from the historical Mechanical Turk which was a chess automoton that actually had a chessmaster inside of it operating it.
Did you mean what’s the inverse of mechanical turk or by another name?
Yes, I’m well aware, which is why I was thinking it was a fun thing to mention. As someone explained why Amazon called it that way back then.
And now we seem to have the opposite situation, or something?There is probably a joke to be made about Indian call centers finding work as mechanical turks for AI, I guess? Feels a tiny bit racist though.
Funny, that’s almost exactly the plot of Daniel Suarez’ technothriller Daemon (an AI using human agents).
Great book.
The B quality movie, afrAId, uses this same concept, to a much smaller crappier degree
