Mechanical Turk workers are using AI to automate being human

Mechanical Turk, a service allowing users to divide tasks for humans to perform, has been found to have nearly half of its workers using AI models to complete tasks intended for humans. This raises concerns about the reliability of human data and highlights the growing issue of AI training on AI-generated data. The study serves as a warning to platforms, researchers, and workers to ensure the integrity of human input in the face of advancing language models and multimodal models.
