#ubiquitous — Public Fediverse posts

#AI Is a Lot of Work. As the technology becomes #ubiquitous, a vast #tasker #underclass is emerging and not going anywhere. #AI #learns by finding #patterns in enormous quantities of #data, but first that data has to be sorted, #tagged by people, a vast #workforce mostly hidden behind machines.
