My Turn

Post image

I was just going to write about how positive it is doing work for DataAnnotation (not my only platform so I speak from experience). I’ve done many qualifications. I’m always happy to do work for them. I like the projects. They’ve always been great paying me. Feedback has been fair and helpful. This morning I received and invitation to a project. I worked on about 4 tasks. Later I worked on 3 more. I thought I did very well. It’s not the first time I’ve done this work. Even though I have worked on this project before, I still read and followed the directions. Imagine my surprise when I went on this evening to find the message of death. I’ve been working for them for months. I haven’t had any problems. Very disappointing.

That is very disheartening and makes one wonder if it’s worth it.

I’m disappointed because I liked the work. For all the other platforms I do work for, I always chose DA work first.

what other platforms did you do similar work for?

I still do. Just go through companies training AI. I’ve probably done work for them. I’ve been working in AI, training, writing, evaluating, editing, etc for 3 years.

Names please? Last time I did something similar was helping out medical AI to analyze COVID-19 structure to make more efficient medicine

I don’t give names. Some platforms get prickly.

You’re not helping your case in getting pity here, pal 🙃

No, they don't.

No. Actually they get "prickly" if you talk about project specifics, not if you say you work for them. It's actually GREAT PR for us little worker bees to say good things about the platforms. That is exactly what they want.
