할리우드 작가들, AI 학습 분야로 전환
일자리를 잃은 할리우드 작가와 쇼런너들이 Mercor, Outlier 같은 회사의 AI 트레이너로 비밀리에 일하며, 데이터 라벨링과 모델 레드팀 테스트 업무로 시간당 최대 150달러를 벌고 있습니다.
unemployed hollywood writers are increasingly joining the gig economy to train ai, taking roles at firms like mercor, outlier, and turing. prompted by financial instability after the 2023 strikes and subsequent production defaults, writers apply their literary skills to rate chatbot responses, annotate video, and conduct red-teaming to bypass safety filters. compensation is high—often cited as $150/hour for experts—but the work involves unpaid testing, automated interviews, and emotionally taxing content moderation. this trend highlights the blurred lines between human creative labor and the data pipeline powering generative models, as industry professionals essentially help build the automation that threatens their primary careers.
