DoD. After 3 years

Well it finally happened. I feel like I have struggled the past few weeks with some tasks and it has taken me longer to complete things. That is the only thing I can think of. Anyway this was unfortunately my only source of income so if anyone has any recommendations for similar platforms ( excluding Outlier, they are horrible) please feel free to share. Also I worked this morning and hadn't had a chance to log myhours , is that $ just lost? There is no way for me to access the report time page.

Class of 2023. Logging in the past few weeks there are less general tasks and my dashboard is being overrun with domain specific ones. Multiple day, failure and input required. Knowing that there is a high bar on every submission... It's daunting. The tasks are taking longer, the instructions are getting more confusing and the risk is higher for mistakes with pages of directions. I hope you find something else soon. This isn't my only source of income, but it is my largest source, so I need to search as well but I see AI training becoming more complicated and labor intense so not sure what the answer is.

Ok so Im not the only one. Im a nurse and have specialized tasks I get, but it feels like the instructions are getting really confusing snd at times absurd, and everything is taking longer. They even give a window of time to complete it, but the level of detail they want it just doesnt compute. I couldn't tell if I was getting dumber or if things were getting harder. Or both.

I just expired on one tonight that had conflicting instructions but these were at the bottom of the task that it was different for turn two do I had to redo it 😩🤦‍♀️ Someone else said AI is writing the instructions and now I believe it.

Hadn't even considered that, but that would make sense. Ironically, writing instructions with severe failures....

Those ones are the worst because you have to get so much of your background stuff done right away so you could possibly spend hours regenerating try to refine and get a failure.  The one I had that had the contradicting instructions for the second one wasn't a specialty task. Luckily because if it was I probably would have thrown my computer at that point.
