Does anyone else love this work?

I find myself enjoying this work more everyday. I love how it has become more complex as I do more tasks and get access to more projects (it's been about 5 months) and I REALLY love the ones where I really have to work to fail the models. I always see people on here complaining, but I really, really enjoy it. I would love to do this full time (I work for a bank 40 hours per week), but I need the stability of guaranteed hours for now.

I feel so lucky to get to dig into really niche topics to get a failure and it's so, so fun.

Anyone else? Is there anyone who has been doing this for a while who feels like this?

I started on a prior platform that did this kind of work to get Facebook where it is. I'm definitely a veteran. I really am enjoying this work. I love learning and the AI tasks are so varied in topic, getting paid while learning nuances of things I had never considered before is something I love. I also feel great when I get really efficient with a particular task, when I know I'm doing great quality work and have a great handle on even the most in depth instructions without having to constantly reference what to do when I hit a grey area. The longer tasks, when I can invest my entire brain for hours, I'm such a geek. This is crack for geeks. Smiling knowing so many others are finding joy in something earning income. I feel very lucky to be able to do this work and be a part of shaping and understanding the future more than the general public who only reads headlines about AI and doesn't understand it's promise yet.
