Years ago I filled in a form for a job search site called "Indeed." Yesterday I got an email form a company called Data Annotation. I think that's the name. dataannotation.tech
They're looking for people to teach chatbots how to write: How to check facts, compare and contrast, evaluate data. like that. So I check my email at 3 a.m. and was curious, so I started to fill out the application a few minutes later. I completed it at 4:25 a.m.
There would be a prompt: Who is in the movie Lizzie McGuire and what is about? Something like that. There would then be two sample responses. I had to choose the one I thought best, say why, and identify what was wrong with the other one, including factual mistakes, and any other errors I could find. Basically copy edit it.
Another said a good friend of mine read a book called Johnny Chan, by Mitch Rycroft. Based on that did I think a book called The Wager, by David Grann, would be a good recommendation for my friend. In short, no. The books are nothing alike. Johnny Chan is about a pro poker player and the book is about how he got to be a pro poker player. A quick, fun read if you're interested in pro poker. The second book is the true story of a mutiny and shipwreck. It was a NYT Bestseller and received very good reviews. I had spell out why it was a bad recommendation including sources cited.
One question asked if I could travel back in time and spend a day at an event...
I wrote November 22, 1963. I want to follow Lee Harvey Oswald around and see if he was a lone shooter, if was working for any government agency or criminal organization, and who really killed JFK.
It was interesting. I doubt I'll hear back, I'm not who they're looking for. Anyway, I guess this is how chatbots learn to chat.
