Now Hiring: Sophisticated (but Part-Time) Chatbot Tutors

After taking a year off from her job as a flight attendant, Chelsea Becker discovered a side hustle through a TikTok video. She began training artificial intelligence models for a website called Data Annotation Tech, earning $20 to $40 per hour. The demand for trainers like Becker has grown with the rise of AI technology, particularly large language models like OpenAI’s ChatGPT. These models learn from humans, and previously low-paid workers have been relied upon to assist in various tasks such as identifying objects and labeling images. However, as AI technology becomes more advanced, the role of trainers has become more detailed and complex.
