        OpenAI Used Kenyan Workers on Less Than $2 Per Hour to Make ChatGPT Less Toxic

        This is just one example of many. Tagging millions of images to train algorithms has to be done with real people, and companies like OpenAI use platforms like Amazon's "Mechanical Turk" to pay people in developing countries to do it. Without this massive amount of labor, generative algorithms wouldn't be possible - and that's before getting into apps that have just used writers in poor countries directly while pretending to be a computer program.
