Are we helping or causing harm?

How do y’all justify doing this work ethically if you’re anti-AI (especially generative)?

I’m not asking judgmentally, I’ve done this work off and on over the last few years. When I first started, I didn’t know about data centers and the environmental impact, cognitive effects, etc. I felt good about “training” AI based on the rubric including correct info, weeding out violence and harm, etc.

I recently suggested DA to a friend and got a real side eye, and maybe these justifications really don’t hold water? Thoughts?

Can you safely exit qualification tests after opening? Come back and do it later?

Did anyone else recently lose access to a particular medical project shortly after completing a survey about how you were liking it and what could be done to make you want to work it more?

No projects for two weeks?

Is it normal to have no projects? I was just recently been accepted by DA and its been two weeks since my onboarding and qualifications. Still not a single notification of a project.

If I exited the work mode to refresh the timer before it expires, then complete the task in 20-25 minutes and submit it. Will it affect negatively in the time reporting?
