AI impersonation: workers are tasked with simulating machinic neutrality while processing human emotion.
Heute gab es das erste Fachgespräch zu Datenarbeit überhaupt im Bundestag. Dass das Thema endlich auf der politischen Agenda ist, ein riesiges Verdienst der beharrlichen Arbeit von Joan, Milagros und Julia. Sie haben zahlreiche Ideen, wie es besser gehen könnte. Hier lest ihr meine Zusammenfassung:
El fanzine «Trabajando para la Máquina: Fragmentos de vida y muerte de un moderador de contenido» expone las consecuencias psicológicas para los moderadores de contenido de META y de otras Big Tech.
«Nada peor que mostrar humanidad en un lugar que se alimenta de cadáveres digitales»

🚨NEW INQUIRY! - Behind the Face of AI🚨
In this short comic, two data workers describe their work impersonating an “AI” chatbot for a major social media platform. Sleepless nights, penalties for sounding “too human,” and emotional drain are just a few of the job hazards.
