Being an AI Chatbot for a Day

I got a notification in LinkedIn for a position titled, Senior Writer Editor.  It was with a company called Outlier and the goal seemed to be to improve AI prompt responses.  It sounded interesting and aligned to the type of work that I was interested in pursuing.  After submitting my resume, I was given the go ahead to start the onboarding training to learn more about the position.  The training started off interestingly enough.  I was given this doc to explain how I would be rating prompts.  Basically, I was given two responses to prompts and had to determine which was better and give a rationale based on criteria provided.  This part of the training was manageable and enjoyable.  I liked picking apart prompt responses for elements of quality.  The training identified responses along a spectrum of creative to logical/factual.  They also provided rubrics that were helpful for each type of writing.  Here are some examples.

Once I completed a few of the rating exercises, I was then given the instructions that I would be challenged to write a response to a prompt based on my expertise in K-12 education to help train the models.  Here is the prompt that I received:
Delving into Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences and recent findings in neurodiversity, how can educators ensure they are differentiating not only based on ability but also on cognitive processing differences? Discuss the interplay of content, process, product, and learning environment in this context.

When I showed it to my husband, he said it sounded like something you could write a PhD thesis on and I couldn't disagree.  But I decided to go ahead and give it a shot thinking I would only have to write the one.  I wrote what I felt was a decent response and it took me a couple of hours.  Click here to read my response.

When I finished, I was provided another prompt to respond to and that was where I stopped.  Who knows how many more prompts I would have had to respond to in order to finish the training?  It was clear at that point that I  would be required to do a lot more work than it was worth. Nonetheless, this is a new movement in AI, getting the expertise of real humans to make the AI models better.  It was an interesting exercise in being an AI Chatbot and I don't regret doing it.  However, I will be wary of future opportunities such as this and you should too!
