Working on repetitive 'AI Training' made me reflect on the future of work

  • I am blown away by what we are training some of the specialized models to do. For example, as a consultant, a good percent of my time was spent in creating 'presentation ready' PPTs - essentially eye-candy that was formatted neatly using template. The models I am training can do this and more in minutes!
  • Taking detailed prompts, these models can create 3-6 versions of decks that we humans can simply mix-match and reuse
  • The money on these gigs are decent - $50-100 to review and sort through output from these models to help 'train' them to get better
  • I was focused on my specialization (technology) and on the projects we had Lawyers, Medical professionals and other specialists too
  • These 'AI training' gigs are not a regular source of income since the projects start and end rather abruptly and one has to be diligent while working on such project tasks or get offboarded since their 'AI Agents' will be watching your screen.

I can clearly see these models taking away the job of 'junior' consultants and entry level specialists
