Is there a position available anywhere in the world where I can simply take an assessment to identify my skills and capabilities, receive assignments accordingly, complete them remotely, and submit them without the need for ongoing communication or visits? I prefer a role that allows for flexible, independent work hours.

I have ten years of experience as a paralegal but am seeking a different type of work that doesn’t require returning to school, interaction with others, or leaving my home. I am highly capable but uncertain about my next career steps and am looking for a more autonomous work arrangement.

    On one hand, you’re helping “train” AIs to replace human jobs. On the other hand, the more work you do for them, the more you’ll feel like no matter how much work people like you do for these kind of shitty companies, there is no fixing AI through training like this, that LLM General Purpose AI is fundamentally broken at its core.

    Further, they definitely have higher paid gigs for people with specialized skills such as paralegal work history and knowledge.

    There’s a couple other companies like this as well, but I haven’t been able to get into them.

    https://www.babel.audio/ - Similar but focused on audio-conversation AI training

    Also, there’s a few dedicated to Market Research, but I have failed to get into those as well:

    Data Annotation definitely has much better and higher paying projects than the market research gigs, but I don’t know about Babel’s payment schemes at all.

    These all count as “gig work” where you are like an Uber/Lyft driver.

    WARNING:
    Keep extremely well documented spreadsheets of your work history, what days you worked, for how long, how much you were being paid per hour, and your final payout for the specific task. I initially thought they would keep showing you all of that on their website but they do not! Once you take a payout, all prior information beyond one week to current date will disappear. It’s also helpful to compile screenshots of that data while it is available to cross-reference with your own spreadsheets, just make sure to take those screenshots before you take a payout.
